Opis

Handsome. Eligible. Fortune hungry. Gentlemen by birth and cash-strapped by fate, brothers Edward, Henry and George have been given one purpose in life: to marry wealthy ladies so they can literally keep their family afloat in the crumbling Damascome Castle, which is situated over a bog. Their foppish ways and famous fortune-hunting have given them a reputation for being mere gold-diggers - but sunny and sociable Joanna and her sister, the gloomy ur-Goth Isabella, are not your typical well-bred ladies. However, they are the daughters of the stern and proper Archbishop of York, and it is within his power to approve or reject his daughters' matches. Can the Goodfellows win over the Archbishop's daughters without offending the father? And can they prevent their own vanity and desperation from standing in the way of love?
Laced with subversive humor and sweet romance, The Coxcombs is an unforgettable time with the offbeat but lovable Goodfellows and the Regency's high citizenry.
