A Comedy of Elopement

The Greatest of These Publishing has released another book by Christian Reid. A Comedy of Elopement is set in Florida and Italy. In it, Fanny Berrien sends her younger cousin to tell Lennox Kyrle she won't elope with him as promised and sets off a series of events that none of them could have anticipated. These situations begin at once and continue, reaching all the way to Italy when Fanny, Aimee, and Lennox meet in Venice, along with a greedy family bent on causing trouble.

This delightful nineteenth-century novel is reminiscent of Charlotte Bronte, Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen, and other authors of this period.  However, it has a charm all its own. Christian Reid is a pen name for Frances Fisher Tierman, an American author who penned more than fifty novels. She was a native of North Carolina but also lived in New York and Mexico for a while.

This edition is very lightly revised to appeal to a wider inspirational audience. However, much of the text reads just as it was originally published. It is available now in print and Kindle editions, and work on the Audible edition is underway. I think it will touch readers' hearts the way it has touched mine, and I'm glad to be able to share it with readers that may not know of this gifted writer.
