This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a work by a novelist admired by Turgenev, Henry James and Queen Victoria:

"Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress."

The winner receives a £25 Blackwell's voucher and
the closing date is September 4.
