'Joan Aiken's invention seemed inexhaustible, her high spirits a blessing, her sheer storytelling zest a phenomenon. She was a literary treasure, and her books will continue to delight for many years to come.' - Philip Pullman Delphie Carteret is forced into a dangerous marriage of convenience in Joan Aiken's stunning regency romance, The Five Minute Marriage. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, the major romantic drama series from Netlix. Delphie has been disinherited from her family's life of luxury and wealth, but, as her mother's health and wits deteriorate, she has no choice but to seek help from distant relatives. However, when she arrives at the family's grand house, she discovers part of their fortune is rightfully hers, and the only way to obtain her inheritance is through a sham marriage to her cousin. Unknowingly, Delphie has tangled herself in a web of family rivalry and deceit that goes back generations. Other members of the family are not just in debt but in the Marshalsea - the debtors' prison described by Dickens. Forced to maintain the charade of her marriage, Delphie is finally drawn into a dramatic fight for her life, and a surprisingly romantic finale on the roof of the family mansion. An enchanting plot of expertly-woven romance and rivalry, The Five-Minute Marriage will enthrall readers until the very end.
