Publisher's Summary
Twins Lydia and Catherine Reed are identical in appearance, but not in dreams. Catherine longs for love and marriage, easily fitting into the pattern of the proper regency young lady. But for her twin sister Lydia, society’s restrictions on females prevent her from pursuing her interests in such unladylike subjects as science, anatomy, and philosophy.
Their father enjoys intellectual conversations among his male friends, but forbids his daughters from taking part. Rebellious Lydia begins to secretly listen in on the gatherings. That is, until she is unexpectedly discovered doing so by her father and his protégé, Charles Allen, a recent Oxford graduate.
Lydia has already heard Charles express his doubts that women are capable of comprehending the subjects upon which the gentlemen’s discussions are centered. When Charles realizes that her interest, and her intellect, are equal to the topics, he reconsiders his opinions of the female mind.
But is his change of heart too late to convince Lydia that he is willing to share his interests, and his life and heart, with a rebel “scholar in petticoats”?
