About This Book

A shipwreck separates twin siblings; one survives and disguises herself as a young man to enter the household of a lovesick noble. That disguise sparks a tangle of attractions: the disguised twin becomes the object of the noble's affection while the noble pursues a mourning countess who rejects him; the countess in turn falls for the disguised sibling. A comic secondary plot sees household servants conspire to humiliate an arrogant steward. Mistaken identities, letters, and practical jokes drive complications that culminate in revealed identities, reconciliations, and paired unions, alongside reflections on love's folly and the performative nature of gender and social roles.
