Book description

It's 1928 and Bright Young Things are taking London by storm, but debutante Ophelia's life is all mapped out: marriage to a cod-faced aristocrat and a life of dull respectability.

Refusing to play along, Ophelia is banished to her ancestral home in the Highlands of Scotland.

Why read it?

1 author picked Highland Pursuits as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this trilogy, with more than one unusual marriage...
