About the book: 2011 / Meredith did not even think about marriage, being more interested in books than balls and gentlemen. However, the father prepared a surprise, agreeing behind his daughter’s back about her marriage with the son of his longtime friend. All Meredith remembered about her fiancé was that as a child he was mischievous and a constant source of trouble. It is not surprising that the girl is ready to do anything to avoid this marriage. And the groom, as it turned out, fully supports her in this endeavor. Literary adaptation by N. Kosareva
