Résumé du livre
Lydia loved her cousin Samuel, and began a correspondence with him when she was 15 that lasted until they were married seven years later. They tell of her blossoming love and her life in a small English village in Warwickshire. Being a guy, he responded to her love letters with a treatise, The Marriages of Cousin Germans, Vindicated from the Censures of Unlawfullnesse, and Inexpediency." His text follows her 32 letters, which face pages of explanatory notes.
