Doctor Cupid: A Novel by Rhoda Broughton

Description

Doctor Cupid is Broughton at her most assured, moving between comedy and feeling with an ease that made her the most talked-about woman novelist of her generation. Her clergyman-hero believes no one is beyond the reach of a well-judged match, and his interventions have consequences that ripple through a delightful cast of widows, young men, and sensible daughters.

The book, like its author, is nowhere near as prim as its era demanded. Dialogue crackles, sentiment is kept honest by wit, and the happy endings are earned the hard way. It is a romance that respects its readers’ intelligence and rewards it on nearly every page.

Why readers still come back to it

• Rhoda Broughton’s witty and subversive Victorian fiction.
• A matchmaking clergyman whose schemes go every way but straight.
• Dialogue comedy that still feels fresh and sharp.
