Publisher's Synopsis
Though it only premiered on Christmas Day 2020, Bridgerton has already become Netflix's biggest hit ever. The lavish period drama, which is set in Regency-era England, is based on Julia Quinn's eight-book series. The debut season follows the events of The Duke and I, the first book in the series, in which the eldest Bridgerton daughter, Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor), sets out to find a husband in 1813.
Over the course of both the show and the book, Daphne meets Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), and they strike a deal: They pretend to be courting so that Simon can stop being pestered by eager mothers trying to marry their daughters off to an eligible duke. In return, Daphne can attract more suitors by making them jealous. What could go wrong? A lot, it turns out. This book includes quizzs and things you might not know about the historical romance-drama that currently has the world besotted.
