My Lady Caprice (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. An Edwardian Comedy of Manners, Courtship Misunderstandings, and Genteel Historical RomanceBy Jeffery Farnol
Length5h 28m
About this audiobook
My Lady Caprice is an elegant Edwardian romance of courtship, misunderstanding, and emotional education, centred on the fascination exerted by a charming, changeable heroine whose "caprice" becomes both obstacle and revelation. Farnol writes in a polished, theatrical prose rich in dialogue, sentiment, and lightly ironic observation, drawing upon the traditions of the comedy of manners, the Victorian love story, and the revived historical-romantic mode that flourished before the First World War. Jeffery Farnol, born in England in 1878, became one of the popular architects of twentieth-century romantic fiction, later famous for such works as The Broad Highway and The Amateur Gentleman. His background in art, stage design, and transatlantic literary culture helped shape his pictorial settings, gallant heroes, and carefully orchestrated scenes of emotional display. My Lady Caprice reveals an early Farnol already committed to romance as a refuge from drab modernity. Readers who value graceful prose, old-world manners, and love stories built on wit rather than sensationalism will find this novel rewarding. It is especially recommended to admirers of genteel romance and literary escapism with historical charm.
