A vintage Liz Fielding novel which made me realize something interesting.  Since returning to reading romance novels several years ago, I've come to understand that Liz Fielding is a romance novelist on top of her craft.  Reading this one has made me understand that she's been on top of her craft for a very long time indeed.  She knows how to give a reader a good time - to make you laugh, cry and make your heart leap with the very intimate and tender emotions that only new love can bring.The two main characters, Holly and Joshua quickly become familiar - Holly, a loving, vulnerable young woman who lost her beloved mother in recent years and who has been struggling along as an art teacher and Joshua, cold, forbidding and judgmental.  Prejudiced against poor Holly really.  Holly's struggle to come to terms with her parentage and the gradual melting of Joshua's prejudice.  As the story gradually moves towards the realization of the truth, the reader is right there with her.Interestingly, the point of view is all Holly's. Unlike many of the romance novels of today, we don't get the male POV.  And do you know what?  We don't want to either.  It's very much Holly's story, and the story of her engagement with the reader.Highly recommended.  A warm, lovely read.
