Answer to Book Quiz (June 24)

Answer to Book Quiz (June 24)

Can you:

~ Name the author?     Sheila Rabe
~ The title of the book?    An Innocent Imposter
~ One other book that the book the published?     The Adventuress

Not the correct book cover, but this by the same author
Back of the Book:
AN INNOCENT ENCOUNTER ~~ Forced to leave her governess position in undeserved disgrace, Miss Susan Layne wonders how she'll ever secure another post. Then, on the coach ride home, she meets Arabella Leighton, and heiress who is fleeing her overbearing guardian. The two women look remarkably alike...so Susan can hardly be held accountable when an accident lands her - literally - in the shoes of her new found friend...

AN ACCIDENTAL IMPOSTER ~~Irresponsible chit! Not that the Earl of Mayfield could really blame his ward for running away; the suitor he'd permitted to court Arabells was a rather unappealing sort. But to now claim that her name is Susan Layne and not his Arabella was simply to much! As for "Arabella," she was enjoying her new life in London...and beginning to like her handsome "guardian." What was an innocent imposter to do? Why, make him fall in love with her, of course!

Quotes from the Book:

  • The air in the carriage was musty and tainted by previous passengers. Susan could smell the lingering scent of unwashed bodies, and a faint hint of vomit hung about the interior like an unpleasant prediction.   pg 13
  • She found her ladyship in her sitting room, reading a copy of Miss Edgworth's Ormand. The countess turned her book over in lap and surveyed Susan.   pg 45
  • Slowly, she sat up, then waited for her head to stop spinning in protest before rising to cross the floor and peep out the door. She looked down a long hallway with many other doors. Was she in some sort of inn?   pg 117

Can you:
