This is a very sweet syrupy love story.  The main man in the story has a terrible reputation, when he rescues a lady from a river. They fall in love, but are unable to be together for a long time because her family doesn't approve of him.  I thought it was quite wordy, and skimmed over a lot of the pages to get to the point.The writing is very different than today's novels.  Instead of saying, "she bent over and kissed him," the author wrote, "she bent over and laid her lips on his."I wondered what the readers of that time period thought when they read this book.
