Evie Dunmore's book's heroines are Suffragettes of 1880, what keeps them together is the fight for women's rights and I'd say that a 2021 young woman would like that.

Nonetheless, this is a romance and I must say that there are some steamy intercourse scenes that might not be appropriate for that age (but it all depends on what the reader is used to).(less)

Does anyone else know / think that the Greenfield family must have been Jewish? I don't think it was specifically mentioned, but there seems to me to be a bunch of details (the banking background, the New Money, the converting to Anglicanism, the special Friday family dinners...) that suggest this.

Alissa Sherman Yes! I think so. The Friday night dinners during which the family has friendly arguments also sounds like a vestige of Shabbat dinners.

Can anyone who has read all 3 books let me know if this one (Scotsman) has disturbing horrible things happen to cats in it like the 2nd book did? I LOVED the first, had to stop in the 2nd when I got to the sad cat scene as I'm a big animal person and couldn't take it, but wondering about the 3rd book and if there's any scenes like that in it or all clear and as good as the 1st book? :)

Meredith There's actually very few animals in this one.…moreThere's actually very few animals in this one.(less)
