I think Ms. Shalaby must be able to channel Jane Austen. Granted, I'm not a JA expert by any means, but this author's voice, her style of writing and scene setting are amazing. Often when I read stories about this era (early to mid-1800's) I feel as though the "correct verbiage" (reticule and the like) comes across somewhat stilted, as though the author has a list of words they must employ, no matter what! Not so this author. She weaves a tale, and formulates her story with such a deft touch, such a fine voice, that one might almost think it was written in that era, instead of now. For all you Regency fans out there - this is a must read. You will love it! Very well done.This reviewer received an ARC from the author in return for an honest review, which is given as a professional courtesy and without monetary compensation.
