Opens at Christmas and is incorrect about Christmas trees and 18-century Christmas customs. The whole romance is spun out over years and consists of only a handful of encounters that could fit into two weeks or a month. The opening is nice and shows good promise. Lady Emily, the friend, is a nice, interesting character. The major problem is the implausibility of the couple loving and staying alienated.
Text is fine, sweet, and nice.
