An aptitude for deception...

My Review:

The story follows the coming of age of a young American girl during the war of 1812 as a prisoner of war caught between her family's patriotism and a growing love for an English enemy.

The heroine grows and the hero acts according to the code of gentlemanly conduct of the time.

Very romantic book even though the attraction isn't described as erotically as now!

3/5
