Frederica, the youngest Armitage sister, runs away from home rather than live with a vulgar, selfish stepmother. She attracts the attentions of a Duke, who helps smooth her path in society. The least realistic of 6 fairly unrealistic books. Frederica as a heroine never comes to life the way her sisters do. ( )
