I truly wanted to like this story but at times but the H and h were thoroughly unlikable. The h had shrewish tendencies which I'm never a big fan of.***Spoilers****She single handedly managed the family estate from cooking, to gardening to cleaning and to being her father's secretary. It seems pretty impossible. Added to that their family ignored them for 10 years but all of a sudden are all loving and caring - I didn't buy that either. The H was downright cruel to the h on several occasions, a fact that she even takes note of. This in spite of doing lots of other nice things for her family but I was never quite sure if he was doing it for her father or for her. Towards the end I thought everyone overreacted about her submitting a paper to the historical society on her father's behalf. The H called the h all sorts of horrible things. 93% into the book I felt like she would be better off going back to live with her parents rather than get involved with the H. However she felt that she had to apologise to everyone, including her father. The father has been coddled by the h for 10 years and he then freaks out at the h over the paper. No justice I say.Another reviewer had a point about the fact that the h's mother never seemed to anything around the house.No, no this book wasn't great at all.
