This anthology opens with four girls in a boarding
school, bonding over a sixpence found in a mattress.
Deciding that it contained magical powers - like a
certain pair of jeans 150 or so years later - they knew
it would bring them each love and vowed to keep it in
their circle until it did.
From that point forward, our four girls are each turned
over into the hands of four fantastic authors who know
Regency-era storytelling very well.
For me, personally, Stefanie Sloane and Julia Quinn's
installments are the most successful - mostly because I
bonded with the heroines almost immediately. I was
charmed by the other two stories and can broke no real
complaints about them, the others just stuck with me
more.
This is a no-brainer buy for anyone who enjoys any of
these authors. Added bonus is that if you're only
familiar with one, you may discover new favorite
storytellers to explore! Recommended for sure.
Beloved authors Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee
Guhrke, and Stefanie Sloane deliver the stories of four
friends from Mrs. Rochambeaux’s Gentle School for Girls who
find an old sixpence in their bedchamber and decide that it
will be the lucky coin for each of their weddings...
“Something Old”
Julia Quinn’s prologue introduces her heroine, Beatrice
Heywood, and the premise for Four Weddings and a Sixpence.
“Something New”
In Stefanie Sloane’s unforgettable story, an ever-vigilant
guardian decrees that Anne Brabourne must marry by her
twenty-first birthday. But love finds her in the most
unexpected of ways.
“Something Borrowed”
Elizabeth Boyle tells the tale of Cordelia Padley, who has
invented a betrothed to keep her family from pestering her
to wed. Now she’ll need to borrow one to convince them she’s
found her true love.
“Something Blue”
In Laura Lee Guhrke’s story, unlucky Lady Elinor Daventry
has her sixpence stolen from her and must convince the rake
who pilfered the coin to return it in time for her own wedding.
