Elizabeth J. (pharlap) reviewed Interesting twist on the usual historical romance... on 10/4/2008 + 44 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This book was almost gothic in the extreme issues surrounding both hero and heroine. As usual Mrs. Coulter's writing was impeccable, as was her characters' development. I found myself rooting for the couple even when I doubted that they could rise above their problems. I highly recommend this book although it is a bit slow in places. It grapples with human failings in the extreme. For a book, I believe, was meant to be a lighthearted romp I was surprised to see an attempt to excuse issues many readers might find inexcusable. This one will leave you thinking, "What would I have done?"
