Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer

Faro's DaughterFaro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable read from the time of "prim and proper". From when ladies, if they didn't have money of their own, really had to find a husband with wealth. Love, or falling in love, was secondary.

Deborah is lucky that her aunt has taken her in. Unfortunately, her aunt, though titled, is widowed and very heavily mortgaged. She has found that gaming in her house can be the means to supporting herself and her niece.

The plot thickens. Very nicely done.
