Little Eve Edgarton

Little Eve Edgarton is a sparkling comedy of manners about a young woman whose sharp tongue and quicker wit have earned her a reputation she never asked for. When a chance encounter with the decidedly proper Mr. Barton leaves her misjudged and mortified, Eve finds herself trapped in a maze of social expectations and her own hasty conclusions. Eleanor Hallowell Abbott writes with a light, sure hand, crafting a heroine who is far more clever than the world gives her credit for, and far more vulnerable than she dares to show. The misunderstandings pile up with delightful precision, each one threatening to close the door on any chance of happiness, until Eve must decide whether her pride is worth more than her heart. It is a gentle, amusing tale of first impressions and second chances, of learning that the people we judge most quickly are often the ones we understand least.
