ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Georgette Heyer's "Frederica" centers on the widowed Lady Buxted's determined efforts to secure a successful debut for her eldest daughter, Jane, in London society, enlisting the reluctant aid of her sophisticated and self-absorbed brother, the Marquis of Alverstoke. Meanwhile, the arrival of the spirited Miss Frederica Merriville and her exceptionally lovely younger sister, Charis, adds another layer to the intricate social landscape as they navigate the complexities of the season with limited resources. The narrative explores themes of social ambition, sibling devotion, romantic entanglements, and the delicate balance of propriety and independence within the hierarchical structure of Regency England's marriage market.
