Tells the story of Rosa McDermott and her decisions on marrying either Mr Bunting or young Jasper Goldspink, this story is played out against a wonderful broad background of scoundrels, Dukes and Duchesses, fox-hunting, harriers, country folk, match-making mammas and all sorts who make a colorful tapestry of nineteenth-century life as lovingly and devastatingly satirically described by Surtees.
