This story is from the Victorian age and the main character is Henry who visits his Uncle's estate called Bittersweet Lodge. The house is described as a wonderful mansion that has fallen into neglect and not kept up for the house or the grounds. On his travels he meets a brother and sister pair, Justice and Clemency and strikes up a friendship with them. He invites them to visit him at the estate and one thing leads to another and Henry and Clemency get married. Henry's uncle warns him not to set up residency at the house, but he and Clemency do anyway.The story reveals details of the house and the inhabitants lives and experiences. The story is told in a forlorn tone that is popular with many Victorian stories.I enjoyed the story, but it definitely left a rather melancholy feeling with me. Well written, but a sad tale.This is an unbiased review from a DRC provided by the publisher.
