Stuart Shotwell's Hampshire Romances, set in Southern England in the early 1800s, continue in this spin-off promised in the final pages of Edmund Persuader. Here is the tale of a unique character, Tomazina Comstock, both earnest and impulsive, impeccably good and inevitably a failure in her own eyes, both strait-laced and oversexed, too quick to speak and too witty for her own good, and yet somehow beloved by all who make her acquaintance. This volume of Tomazina's Folly is the first of five.
