5.0 out of 5 stars
Love it!,
This review is from: Love Lessons (Paperback)
This is one of my "keeper" books--the few regency romances that I have read (and I have probably read close to 500 by now) and I have saved and reread on a regular basis. No matter how many times I have gone through the story, it still moves me to tears every time.
The book starts off with 13-year old Anne Saunders recounting her experience with "amour." Or rather, her mother's experiences with it. Her mother was a mistress to many a men and was ruled by passion--"amour" she called it. When her mother dies, Anne goes to live with an older cousin named Oliver, a confirmed bachelor. Here Anne is shaped into the woman she will grow into. The book is told in Anne's point of view, first person narrative. It is not only a very easy read (I can never put it down), but it is emotional and touching. I don't think I will ever get sick of rereading it. I've read a few of other Elizabeth Mansfield's other books and none have been as wonderful, most are not even close, to this one. Indeed, I think this is one of the best Regency books from any author. |
