Duel of the two cultures,
By Flower Girl (MN, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Prentiss and the Yankee (A Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoy reading comparisons of different cultures, usually they offer a glimpse of culture one doesn't know and an insightful look of culture one takes for granted. This was what worked for me in this book. What didn't work for me was the relationship between the hero and heroine. Although I understood Miss Prentiss was to represent the English culture where propriety and class distinction take precedence, and Mr. Harding's straight-forwardness could mistakenly interpreted as "barbaric" and "ill-mannered". But I felt Ms. Carroll went overboard on governess' proper conduct that she appeared stiff and unyielding, in contrast, the Yankee appeared charming and confident. It took whole book, only until the last pages, did this cultural gap came to close. It was a very weak and spiritless courtship they were carrying. A big flaw that dragged down this rating.
