In this Regency romance series opener by the bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries, two chaperones must tame a boisterous young lady.

Although they still dream of getting married one day, elderly and impoverished sisters Amy and Effie Tribble must face the reality that they need money. Their plan: to market their skills as professional chaperones. With an advertisement in the newspaper offering to refine "a wild, unruly, or undisciplined daughter," they hope for the best.

Enter high-spirited Lady Felicity Vane. Her father wanted a boy, and her manners show it. She rides her horse through the rose garden and is happier hunting animals than husbands. It will certainly take a miracle to reform Felicity into marriage material, but in the hands of the Tribble sisters, anything is possible...

ABOUT THE SERIES


The Misses Tribble, Amy and Effie, spinster sisters of a certain age, have lived for years on expectations of a great inheritance. When this fails to materialize, they are truly destitute. Desperate, they advertise that they will refine wild and unruly daughters, present them, and see them safely wed. The School for Manners six book series follows these two stalwart spinsters as they undertake enterprises of matchmaking and navigate the troublesome machinations of the London marriage mart.

This is a quite silly historical romance in which two spinsters (the Misses Tribble) who are in need of money, devise a business to ready "difficult" girls from elite families for the season in London. Some readers might appreciate the humor but I was thankful it was a short book. In my opinion, it wasn't especially well written or entertaining, so I won't be reading the next novel in the series. Then again, romance is not among my favorite genres.

What a bizarre romance novel - not quite a bodice-ripper and yet also not completely tame, it's a quick and sometimes-amusing read. ( )

This is like eating an entire chocolate cream cake! Sexist, almost nothing redeeming, complete twaddle; but the middle-aged Tribble sisters are a riot, and the romantic encounters are so cheesy and contrived that they are just plain fun. A nice quick escape from reality into the romantic regency era. ( )
  ColourfulThreads | Feb 18, 2021 |
Typical sparsely written Beaton book. With dollops of historical accuracy an insubstantial and unsatisfying read. ( )

Crítica em: http://pepitamagica.blogspot.pt/2015/04/livro-educacao-de-felicity-de-marion.htm...

Em primeiro lugar quero referir a beleza, a estéticas das páginas deste livro: com flores que adornavam os cantos das páginas, acaba por dar um toque especial ao livro e à leitura.
Gostei muito das irmãs Tribble, mulheres fortes em algumas alturas e mais fracas noutras, mostram uma realidade da nobreza pobre que poucas vezes é revelada nestes livros.
Felicity, uma rapariga que no campo tinha muitas liberdades e era indomável, acaba por mostrar que o continua a ser mas com uma feminilidade e sedução.
O marquês Charles Ravenswood parecia ser uma personagem interessante, tal como Felicity, mas ambos perderam algum do seu charme pela maneira como a autora, no fim do livro, embrulha tudo rapidamente com um bonito laço e pronto.
Gostaria de ter visto um pouco mais da “educação” dada a Felicity.
Ainda que as irmãs Tribble sejam um par curioso, gostaria de as ver, especialmente Amy, com alguém, que as faça feliz. Quem sabe no fim da colecção teremos um final mais feliz para estas irmãs.
Uma leitura bastante soft e rápida, com momentos divertidos e bem-criados, que servem para aligeirar o texto, contudo com uma pequena falta no capítulo que toca ao romance amoroso propriamente dito. ( )
