About this ebook

Delight is a melodrama spun into a comedy, an ironic treatment of romantic themes. The small Ontario town of Brancepeth is turned upside-down when an excessively attractive young woman, Delight, arrives out of nowhere with only her luggage and her grandmother’s tea-set. All the men pursue her with ardour; all the women perceive her with jealousy. Stuck between the affections of her admirers, her own reluctance to select a suitable suitor, and the increasing ire of the townswomen, Delight runs a fine line between courtship and exile in this funny and light-hearted tale.

Mazo de la Roche

Mazo de la Roche (Newmarket, 1879-Toronto, 1961) fue una escritora canadiense mundialmente famosa por su saga de los Whiteoak, dieciséis volúmenes que narran la vida de una familia de terratenientes de Ontario entre 1854 y 1954. La serie vendió más de once millones de ejemplares, se tradujo a decenas de idiomas y fue llevada al cine y a la televisión. Con la publicación de Jalna (1927), su autora se convirtió en la primera mujer en recibir el sustancioso premio otorgado por la revista estadounidense The Atlantic Monthly, que la consagraría en adelante como una verdadera celebridad literaria.
