The Apple TV+ series is based on Edith Wharton's final novel about American heiresses in London on the hunt for aristocratic suitors.
In the opening pages of “The Buccaneers,” Edith Wharton’s novel about American heiresses of the 1870s looking to marry Englishmen with titles, Mrs. St. George, the mother of the central character, regards her daughter’s chances. “Nan, though certainly not a beauty like Virginia, was going to be fascinating, and by the time her hair was put up, the St. George girls need fear no rivalry.” Still, she worried.
Nan is the youngest of the debutantes and an independent thinker who’s unimpressed by titles and even less so by marriage. Naturally this draws the attention of a duke . They meet cute when they emerge from the sea after a brisk swim, each assuming they had the beach all to themselves. He’s barechested. She’s unflustered. Contrast that with Colin Firth’s wet shirt scene as Mr. Darcy in the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.
