12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A novel of Manners, Money and Marriage. By Zou Zou Emily Eden's novels are usually recommended as what to read when you've exhausted your collection of Jane Austen. Both authors wrote wonderful stories of love, folly and society. The Semi-Attached Couple concerns the brief courtship and not so harmonious marriage of Lady Helen Eskdale and Lord Teviot. The reader meets the friends and supposed friends of the aristocratic Eskdale family. The novel opens with Helen having second thoughts on her betrothal and upcoming marriage. Lord Teviot is a desirable parti, handsome and very wealthy. As a beloved only son, his manner is forceful and decided. Teviot fears that he loves Helen more than she loves him and he doesn't know how to remedy the situation. He protects himself by becoming more emotionally remote. Helen is accustomed to the easy camaraderie of close sibling relationships. As a member of a large affectionate family, she doesn't recognise the symptoms of a possessive lover. The Author introduces us to a wonderful cast of characters: Self-absorbed, mischief making Lady Portmore, cynical Colonel Beaufort,sweet, smart Eliza Douglas and her alarming mother, Mrs. Douglas. The dialogue is character revealing and very amusing. There is a secondary romance involving the young Douglas ladies. Most of the story takes place at one of Lord Teviot's luxurious country estates, where hunting, riding and various amusements manage to keep the young married couple separated by their duties as host and hostess to a veritable army of guests. Will Helen and Teviot manage to create a real marriage or continue on divergent paths? This is a marvelous romance. Great characters, witty dialogue and a view of the lives of wealthy aristocrats.Recommended.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Austenesque Victorian romance that begins at what’s usually the “happy ever after” By Jaylia Victorian author Emily Eden admired Jane Austen--and it shows in her astute and witty prose which delighted this Janite--but she begins her book where Jane’s stories end, with a wedding. Lovely Helen has all the ingredients for 19th century happiness. She’s beloved by her large well-off family and she’s about to marry wealthy Lord Teviot, who charmed her when they danced together. But being good Victorians they haven’t actually spent much time alone, and when she is whisked away after the ceremony she suddenly realises she doesn’t know or understand Teviot very well and she’s decidedly homesick, damaging her relationship with her proper but ardent new husband. Among other things the story becomes a post-wedding courtship with lots of twists and turns, ups and downs.Like Austen’s novels The Semi-attached Couple is filled with amusing characters and there are at least three romances that develop during the course of the plot. It took me a little while to get all the names and characters straight--there is a Lord Beaufort and a Colonel Beaufort for instance--but somewhere along the way this book became one I couldn’t put down. First I simply found it divertingly funny, with characters to laugh at and enjoy loving or hating, but as the story went on it also became exciting, then moving, until finally at the end it was deeply satisfying.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A very clever author By James Jones Loved the antique locutions, "did you give it me" but a human proofreader could have stopped some egregious errors in spelling and wording AU for all comes to mind vox for vex the errors were too numerous and intrusive. One engaged proofreader would have caught all the errors! Otherwise a fun little excursion into a time past.
