Louisa writes Louisa!

Beautiful research! It's as if LT knew LA! I think they are somehow connected - 1770's to the 2000's makes no difference - I found it so difficult not to read it in one sitting...I made myself wait/pace...every page was a commitment to telling Louisa's story, luring you in, creating true fascination. Loved it!
