The Arranged Marriage is a captivating tale of courage and independence that revolves around Perpetua Mordaunt, the timid, shy, and plain daughter of the Duke of Staplefield. While it is the duty of all daughters to find suitable husbands, Perpetua finds herself trapped in a marriage with a man she hardly knows when her father and narcissistic mother force her into it to save the family fortune and reputation. Feeling confined and unable to communicate her distress to her confident and beautiful siblings, Perpetua sees becoming a governess as her only escape. After the ceremony concludes, she flees to Bath, where she seeks a position at The Registry. Unfortunately, she is rejected and left in a state of desperation. However, her fate takes a turn when she is rescued by Mrs Lumley and her beloved daughter, Dora. Mrs Lumley desires for Dora to gain some town polish, and Perpetua finds herself under their care. Despite initial struggles, Perpetua blossoms under the adoring society's attention. However, when she glimpses her husband at a party, she realizes that some problems cannot be escaped.
The Arranged Marriage is a perfect novel for fans of Bridgerton, as it explores similar themes of societal expectations, personal growth, and the complexities of marriage. Perpetua's journey from a shy and reserved girl to a confident and independent woman is inspiring, and her determination to find her own path in life is relatable to readers of all ages. The novel also delves into the dynamics of family relationships, particularly the complex relationship between Perpetua and her parents.
Overall, The Arranged Marriage is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction with a touch of romance and a strong female protagonist.
