Customer Reviews

One of my favorite Thirkell novels.

This book begins the romantic relationship between Mr. Adams and Lucy Marling -- who is one of my favorite Thirkell heroines. Their wooing is far from a "candlelight and violins" situation. The book is very entertaining, and bound to be a favorite of Thirkell fans.
