Review: Like A Movie
Rating: 5 out of 5

Ms. Howarth has captured a bygone era with her story. No one writes like this anymore in the "empirical" style so favored by the great 19th century novelists, and it was a delight to find this gem of a novella.Emerald is in a difficult position between her brother's gambling debts and evil Lord Moorby, but when she meets "Her Favoured Captain" I knew all would be set to rights.Reading this novella was like watching an old black and white movie. The background details, although lovely, were grey in comparison with the people in the forefront. Ms. Howarth finds the true "character" in each of the players and shines the light on them to perfection.I'm looking forward to spending more time reading Ms. Howarth's expanding library.
