Good but not her best

I just finished reading this book and it was good but not one of her best. When the book first starts Bridget Mordaunt was very boring then the story line picked up a little. Then the book went into a different direction and it really picked up. Bridget was a nice person at first but then she changed. The story was getting really interesting and the it went back to Bridget & then it got slow again. But it is worth reading. It has a lot to do with the different in the classes back in the nineteenth century.

Impecable!

I don't have many words for this book...it left me speechless. The strength and weaknesses of humanity...the trial ans tibulations...oh lord...it's almost like a soap opera (I hate soaps but I loved thia book! )
