Set in a secret academy nestled in the Regency era English countryside holds the key to finding love in the most unconventional way.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader with a passion for the Regency novels of Jane Austen must be in want of similar fare . . . A witty young-adult comedy of manners . . . It merits the most fulsome praise.”—The Washington Post

They’re being groomed for their future grooms.

The Winthrop Hopkins Female Academy has one purpose: to train its students in the feminine arts, with an eye toward getting them married off. There are two problems, however. The academy is in a Yorkshire backwater, far from anywhere . . . and there are virtually no eligible men. How can eight Winthrop Hopkins girls manage to get around those constraints and snare the man (or future) of their dreams?

“This companion book to Keeping the Castle has the same Regency vibe that readers will love. There are a ton of characters, a lot of fun situations, and it reads very fast.”—USA Today

“An enchanting addition, sure to charm Jane Austen lovers and those who live for the next big Downton Abbey reveal.”—School Library Journal, starred review

“[Kindl delivers] a witty, intelligent plot whose characters—complex, conniving, hypocritical, and hilarious—seek happiness within an ordered world . . . An unmitigated delight from start to finish.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“As light and quick as the playful banter volleyed among the Winthrop Hopkins girls themselves, this companion to Kindl’s Keeping the Castle is highly entertaining . . . Kindl’s command of the Regency voice and style never wavers, and the dialogue could make any visiting Austen protagonist feel instantly at home.”—The Horn Book
