by Deanna RaybourneTee hee hee. Very silly--and funny about it--story of an orphaned young lady who is finally freed by the death of her Aunt to head abroad and resume pursuit of her passion--butterfly hunting. I was expecting more butterflies and less bloodshed (mostly hers!) but I wasn't disappointed.
the one thing the author did absolutely correctly was in portraying the sort of stuffy, overdignified idiots you see in Victorian literature and then having Miss Victoria Speedwell puncture their puffy pride. That part of the story--mostly the first one-quarter--was hilarious. The rest just an action romp, very Pirates of the Carribbean-esqe. But good adventure.
