I like others readers am amazed with how little research went into the book. First off all the cities and towns are figments of the Author's imagination. You can't tell if the girls hometown is England, USA, Ireland or anywhere. Brighton their destination does not meet the description of Brighton, England. They cross a large body of water, where? As for determining what time frame? 1870, 1890, 1900 who knows, the girls are wearing petticoats. Seriously the behaviour of the women in this book don't meet the norms of any of those periods. Someone else brought up a good point of the very poor Captain Charlie has stacks and stacks of casual photographs. Photographs from any of these periods were formal and very expensive. Of course they were not in color. One did not have boxes of them. The girls run and do whatever they want, wandering alone with men. There are a lot of bad spelling. wrong tense of a word. Words omitted. The idea of a really small ship sailing for three months, what kind of cargo is it? We don't know. How does Charlie really know Nathaniel? How is it everyone thinks it is just normal for one of the girls to travel to a art festival and stay alone with him for three weeks? Bizzaro behavior for everyone. Funny if the book had nailed itself to a real time period, and appropiate behaviour we have a awesome book. Had more information on where they are from, where they are going, just a little on Charlie's business model, be really good. If you muddle your way through all the above you will see a interesting story hidden. My advice don't bother.
