I really enjoyed this book. The story was interesting, the characters engaging. The style very fine and elegant. I was astounded by the amount of detail and research and as a fellow writer found the book very informative. I liked coming back to the characters and their story and was looking forward to every new chapter.

Surprisingly sweet and satisfying. The romance between Grace and Rufus was obliquely told but still real and warm.
