Bridgertons. The Duke and I
Hurry! Only 0 Left in Stock!
In the Regency era, all the ballrooms and drawing rooms of London were bound by unwritten and unbreakable rules: how to speak to a count, which curtsy to perform before a prince… The duke must be authoritative and indifferent, while a young lady of marriageable age should be amiable, but not too much.
Daphne Bridgerton, the fourth of eight descendants of a surprisingly close noble family, has a friendly character, in contrast to most of the haughty young ladies of her age, so she easily finds common ground with almost all the young men of London’s high society. However, the viscountess Bridgerton is still waiting for an interesting marriage proposal for her eldest daughter. Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, has recently returned from abroad and is trying to avoid social glamour, even public appearances, as he has decided never to marry. He has personal motives for this, stemming from a family drama. Meeting the sister of his best friend Anthony Bridgerton opens up a different path for him. If Daphne agrees to their feigned courtship, Simon will be able to turn down the mothers of young ladies who are eagerly seeking the attention of the unmarried duke. In return, Daphne will see new prospects, and her reputation will soar. Will this plan work, when in the cruel, glittering, gossip-laden world of London’s elite, only one thing is true: love cannot be restrained by rules.
About the author.
Fashion is fickle: once millions of fans around the world were engrossed in the novels of Stephenie Meyer or E.L. James, and now another name has been added to this list — Julia Quinn (Pottinger). The author has even been inducted into the U.S. National Book Hall of Fame, and the novels from her wildly popular series "Bridgertons" have become bestsellers 19 times! Translated into 41 languages, they served as the basis for the hit Netflix series. Currently, it is the most popular English-language show on streaming in its entire history, renewed for 2 more seasons, with several spin-offs in the works.
Why should you buy?
• What makes "Bridgerton" so popular — over 50,000 reviews on Goodreads with an average rating of 4.5? Why has everyone suddenly become a fan of the Regency era? Perhaps it's time to pick up this book (this is the first translation of the series into Ukrainian) to find the answers for yourself.
• Spiciness and frankness, the ability to talk about uncomfortable topics regarding relationships, the "packaging" of modern social trends (feminism, crisis of masculinity, etc.) in a historical context — these are the recipes for success of Quinn, which can "resonate" with both the student and her professor.
