4 Stars, Reviewed by GinniePearl is a rare mix of transgender romance and historical which I was greatly looking forward to. Edith fit the time well and had the concerns and aspirations of a woman of her era. But she wanted more from a life that was nearly stifling and one day she gets it in the form of a handsome stranger. The only flaw this short story had was that it was so very short. In dealing with historical attitudes, the idea of a woman carving her own path against society, the idea of sexuality and growing up, along with understanding an aspect of someone a character has never encountered before, there was so much more here to be explored. Even the ending was a bit ambiguous. I choose to think everything worked out for them, as I believe the author intended, instead of how else it could have gone. I wanted more and wished this had been longer but I enjoyed what was here and hope these characters had a long and happy life together.
