Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 5, 2013
It's easy to get wrapped up in the characters' lives in this book. The story reads like an intimate family chronicle. The constraints and expectations placed on members of 19th century English aristocracy are skillfully worked into the plot, and effectively transport the reader back to that time and place. The characters struggle to conform and yet be true to themselves and their emotions.Ms. Raven's descriptions of period garments are beautifully done, adding to the credibility of the setting.The secondary characters are well drawn and interesting in their own right.If you are a horse lover, this book is for you. The heroine is an expert horsewoman. The training and breeding of horses is well documented and forms an integral part of the book
