Using sharp dialogue and social observation, the narrative follows the emotional and practical consequences of broken promises, shifting expectations, and the pressures faced by young women with limited means. Praise and front matter position the story as witty, modern, and irresistibly romantic while remaining firmly in the imaginative world of the author.","A LADY’S GUIDE TO FORTUNE  \nHUNTING  \nSophie Irwin  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright  \nHarperCollinsPublishers Ltd  \n1 London Bridge Street  \nLondon SE1 9GF  \n[www.harpercollins.co.uk](www.harpercollins.co.uk)  \nFirst published by HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2022 Copyright © Irwin Editorial Ltd 2022  \nJacket design by Caroline Young © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2022 Jacket illustrations: [Shutterstock.com](Shutterstock.com)  \nSophie Irwin asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this  \nwork.  \nA catalogue copy of this book is available from the British Library.  \nThis novel is entirely a work of fiction.
