I must apologize. I looked at the cover and title and thought this would be a humorous book. The farther I read the more I knew it wasn't. I liked the characters.Michael, the Marquess, trying to improve his family's worth. Alys, who made cakes in trade. Poor Rose with asthma. Even Alys' s father who became rich and changed her life. It was a bit confusing how the different lives all melded in together. There were inferences to medical problems such as asthma, diabetes and even gall bladder surgery. This occurred when women were starting to assert themselves. I liked this book. The plot was workable and I learned several new facts. The diabetes was a personal issue as my husband has diabetes. Please read this book.
