Cover
The only thing I like about this cover of the logo. Although I like the color purple - in kind, it is not quite as sharp, as in the picture - but here it was a little exaggerated. Also, the couple does not find I subscribe, although Lily is described as a black-haired.
the individuals depicted and things are not consistent and therefore it lacks the desired harmony.
opinion
The novel begins a little getting used to and unfortunately does not develop as expected. There are also some properties of unsympathetic characters, so I can only classify this novel as average and you have not read it so imperative.
Avery same as on page 1 receives a letter from his uncle, in which it is aware of the arrangement and are understandably upset about it, of course, does not it. He glides namely as pretty and may not be so short with the reader. Mrs. Brockway obviously loves heroes who are a little hit, because Avery is suffering - at least in theory - from asthma and some seizures. This seems to have done but according to his adolescence and the world tour.
Lillian is a modern woman should be soft drawn by some of the details - it takes discarded race horses and rescue them from the butcher, it deals exclusively pregnant servant girl with no husband - but it Unfortunately not. Sure, they need their husbands have, but in some scenes she seems downright uncharitable. In addition, she and her nineteen years at the beginning and the end is still quite young twenty-four for such a large task. By biting it can not really your job, your head, not even the servants to listen to them and take advantage of the generosity only. When Avery shows up eventually, they can literally rip the reins out of his hand - mind of the servants. For Suffragette and a woman who had so long alone cope with anything that is an outrageous state. in the Blurb themed letters were rather disappointing. From the other novels I've read by the author, I know she has a great knack for quick-witted dialogue between the hero couple. But exactly what is missing here, unfortunately, long distance, so the action rather hindümpelt on.
The first four and a half years have also been around for only a few pages and read all three letters, we were allowed. When Lily and Avery finally meet each other, although the sparks fly, but some dialogues and thoughts are a little too childish. Finally, they are forced to work together and here would have a lot of sensual moments and pure Fireworks available in the heart, but Avery is good and just watched.
When it finally is happening, as it must - that is ultimately a love story - suddenly everything turns in circles. Although the only erotic scene is successful, but we can not agree on anything again. tear
The supporting characters, unfortunately, not out, although I found very interesting constellation. As would be brought out more clearly.
total is seen it is "sweet surrender" to a mediocre novel in the first hineinzufinden difficult is that then something in the middle moves, but eventually runs out satisfactorily.
Connie Brockway began her career as a writer in 1992. Their children were out of the woods, and she could finally devote himself to writing. Time and again we find their award-winning historical novels ever since the American bestseller lists. Connie Brockway travel very much, but spends too much time in her garden at home in Minneapolis, which she continually embellished as a trained teacher.
