I'm not going to try, honestly, I'll only say it was wonderful. Trademark Kinsale brought to life by Nicholas Boulton. I just really liked how this one was executed.
Tess Collier ha pasado la mayor parte de su vida recorriendo las exóticas tierras del mundo con su padre, el conde de Morrow. Pero cuando él muere en la selva amazónica, Tess decide a pesar suyo, honrar su última voluntad: retornar a Inglaterra y llevar a cabo una "boda adecuada".

- First words
- Standing amid a bedraggled group of nearly naked Indians, Lady Tess Collier was aware she didn’t look much like a lady. She didn’t need the peculiar glances of the genteel European residents of Para to tell her that after... (show all) a six-month odyssey down the Amazon she presented a most unprepossessing figure. Skirt torn and heavy with water and sand from landing the pirogues on the beach; hair unkempt and trailing down from the knot at her neck; fingernails blunted or broken by the efforts of unloading her precious collection of plants and animals—no, she didn’t look much like the only daughter of the Earl of Morrow.
