Apart from writing, I love drawing. The problem is that when it comes to drawing I don’t know what I’m doing. However, my characters don’t care and demand to have their sketches made. So here they are: Miss Margaret Fairfax, Mr. Westfield, Miss Anne Westfield and Mr. Stockley.

After the loss of her sister, Margaret Fairfax settles at Northbrook Hall – the country estate of her brother-in-law, Mr. Westfield, whose dislike of her is legendary. There she faces a major challenge of reconciling their many differences and proving to him that despite the rumours of schemes and scandals that followed her from London, she is worthy of his regard and affection. With time and many an exertion on her part and that of her new family, Margaret succeeds in altering Mr. Westfield’s opinion of her and attaching his heart, but she fears the worst when her deceitful friend arrives.

You can learn more about Miss Margaret, Mr. Westfield and his sister Anne on their individual pages. Mr. Stockley and his cunning sister Catherine are also expected to make an appearance.

Farida Mestek – the story

My name is Farida Mestek and I’m the author of  Regency-set novel “Margaret’s Rematch”. I live in Odessa, Ukraine, but I love English language and am fascinated with Regency era England. That’s why all my current projects are Regency-set, though I’m still hoping to go back to work on a fantasy novel that has been haunting me ever since the age of sixteen. I’m also a big Jane Austen fan and I try to follow her school of writing, that’s why I write old-fashioned, romantic stories set against the backdrop of Regency England. I am very grateful to Girlebooks for liking “Margaret’s Rematch”, publishing it and making my darling wish of becoming a published author come true.
