I cannot give 5 stars because the h giggled, alot !  At first it was cute but it got old, fast, esp. since the h was 20 years old !  In that day and age, most 20 year olds probably had a couple of kids, ran an immense household and could even be widowed.  Not our Bess, she just giggled!  Even her childhood friends ( one couple's married to each other ) are in an arrested stage of development! The couple were a pair of hangers-on and never seemed to accomplish anything and just blindly followed along!  No, I err.  Robby, the husband, managed to eat an inordinate amount of food daily.  Everyone thought that humorous.  AND he never sat at his OWN table (did he have one or did he have his OWN home, for that matter ? )  Funny, gluttonous, Robby, just made do with belong everyone's dinner guest.  Ugh!  Also, I was confused how the giggley girl could want equality for women  ( where premarital sex was concerned ) yet parlayed sexual innuendos with the man of her dreams. HUH?  Never the less, I fell in love with the H and I don't know why.  He treated Bess and gang  as children  ( Well, I guess I just said they were ) indulging them as a favorite Uncle would.  BLAH ! He appeared much older than the new friends he had just acquired and it was only 9 years !  He felt he was too old for his desired "lass".  Again, in that era, 15 years was not too wide a span.  My attraction for him, ?????, maybe his Scot's accent ?  I loved Bess' Poppa and at one time I even liked the penniless, fop/villain, Holland. Holland was going to murder his Uncle's beloved 10 year old ward in order to gain the child's inheritance.  Ahhhhhh...a character with a SET of BIG ones !I loved the story!  I loved the Hero and the unintended paradoxes ! I think you will too !
