Sidney L. Blanchard's Riddles of Love is a delightful Victorian
novel of manners that blends romance with sparkling social satire
in a deft, witty style that will remind readers of Jane Austen and
Charles Lamb.
The story follows the fortunes of May Pemberton as she passes
from Shuttleton, an ugly little manufacturing town, to a triumphant
debut on the London stage. Repelled by the aggressive compliments
paid to her by her admirers, May abandons her career to accompany
her father to colonial India. Her retirement from theatrical fame,
which happens to coincide with a colonial rebellion, is anything
but placid. The interlocking love triangles of Blanchard's story
are as multifaceted as the lost diamond necklace that sets the plot
in motion.
This new edition, the first in 142 years, reprints the original
illustrations of Adelaide Claxton and is supplemented with endnotes
and an Anglo-Indian glossary.
