I enjoyed the author's take on this classic tale.  It was interesting and very sweet if somewhat unbelievable.  I sincerely doubt that even someone who was desperate for a wife would hear of the latest shrewish lady to arrive in London and instantly decide to marry her. (without even having seen her!) I can overlook that stretch because the rest of the story was so charmingly well told.  The dastardly Mr. Tunning was a nice touch, if a bit over the top. There was conflict and points in the story where I shook my head and asked Bess "why can't you just talk to him!" It is not high literature, but it does provide a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable break.  I was pleasantly surprised and am now looking forward to reading more from this author.
