![]() ![]() I was lukewarm about the main couple, this is the second Duran with some mental illness (alcoholism in the scandalous summer was first) which I do not find romantic as she describes it ( points for realism, and some excellent care and support ideas implemented, just not romantic to me), and the heroine did not work well for me. The bullying by servants which the heroine uses to get the hero to move was period. ![]() Servants managing a neglected household in certain ways was period. The Duke going crazy and locking himself away and basically nobody really interfering was very period. I really liked how the characters and approaches to the problems remained in period. I forgot a lot of detail by now, it did not capture me, and the characters did not make a deep impression. ![]() I had the discussion slotted for august 2, and made an effort to be fresh on the book then. ![]()
