In 1950s London, a career girl decides it's high time she snared
herself a husband
Professional dog photographer Louisa Datchett is indiscriminately fond
of men. And they take shocking advantage of her good nature when they
need their problems listened to, socks washed, prescriptions filled, or
employment found.
But by the age of thirty, Louisa is tired of constantly being dispatched
to the scene of some masculine disaster. It's all well and good to be an
independent woman--and certainly better than a "timid Victorian
wife"--but the time has come for her to marry, and marry well. With
the admirable discipline and dedication she's always displayed in any
endeavor involving men, Louisa sets out on her own romantic quest.
