An epistolary novel about love, friendship and the search for happiness from the author of The Enchanted April

What on earth could have induced Mr Anstruther to fall in love with Fraulein Schmidt? He is an eligible English bachelor from a good family with great expectations; she is the plain, poor, ‘spinster’ daughter of a German scholar. But Rose-Marie Schmidt is also funny, intelligent, brave and gifted with an irrepressible talent for happiness. The real question is, does Mr Anstruther know how lucky he is?

Praise for Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther

Elizabeth von Arnim had a neat wit, a wild sense of comedy, and a vision - continually thwarted though it was - of potential happiness.

Sunday Times

[Her books are] a revelation in their wit and... dry, unsentimental treatment of the relationship between men and women
