'Jeanne of the Marshes' is an engaging humor-drama novel by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Follow the story of 19-year-old heiress Jeanne de la Mesurier, who has left the convent to join her scam artist stepmother, Ena, Princess of Strurm, in London. The duo is determined to find Jeanne a wealthy husband and prey on Lord Ronald Engleton at an old manor house on the Norfolk coast. Owned by Cecil de la Borne, a fellow scoundrel, the house became the stage for social manipulations and moral flexibility of the impoverished aristocracy. With a mix of wit and humor, Oppenheim brings to life the delightful and scandalous world of the British upper class.
