The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
4.0
My daughter has been raving about this book for a couple years. When she created a reading challenge for it this month, I decided I'd better jump in and give it a go. I found it to be highly entertaining, if a bit flowery-romantic in places. (Percy kissing the steps his wife walked on...or "sleep sedulously avoided her eyes") Methinks we have an overly-fanciful authoress on our hands...
I had the identity of The Scarlet Pimpernel figured out very early in but I think it had a lot to do with my daughter dropping some hints over the past couple years. I wonder if I would have figured it out so easily had I not heard quite a bit about the story already.
Super fun story---I'm sure I'll be reading it again in the future!
