Book summary

The humorous seventh installment in the Bridgerton Regency romance series puts the spotlight on intelligent, independent, and forthright Hyacinth Bridgerton. Hyacinth remains unmarried at the advanced age of 22, because none of the available suitors meet her exacting standards...except perhaps for notorious, nearly penniless Gareth St. Clair, whom she encounters at an otherwise dreadful concert. Hyacinth agrees to employ her inexpert Italian to translate the diary of Gareth's late grandmother, providing an opportunity for passion to grow between the couple--but also shedding light on some unpleasant truths about Gareth's family.
