Reseña del editor
His adoring aunts have brought up the orphaned Orlando with love and care but not much money. But if he is to have the advantages he deserves, it is time to persuade his paternal grandfather, Sir Leonard D'Ewes, to take an interest in the illegitimate grandson he has never seen. And surely Orlando, once met, cannot fail to charm? If Orlando charms the D'Ewes, he too is charmed - by the splendid beauties of Stow Stocksley, the graces of wealth, the sense of belonging, the weight of an inheritance that his grandfather increasingly feels should go to Orlando, and not his wastrel cousin Roger.
Over the years, the varied and often contradictory hopes of Orlando, scheming Aunt Cicely, Roger and the lovely Hannah are alternately raised and dashed by the tide of circumstance. And although Orlando does finally come in reach of his heart's desire, one person's gain is another's disappointment.
