Still, if only she would realize she is bored and *wants* to be seduced, it would be easier for me to accept it :D <br /><br />Margot: generally I prefer stories from before or after WWII, but knowing how well Laura Wilson writes, I had to read this one. And I don´t think she got it wrong; I just loathe those women who have nothing to do so spend their time falling for the wrong guy.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-47202823990805977342010-11-19T12:32:23.338+00:002010-11-19T12:32:23.338+00:00Dorte - A fine review!

I had to smile when I read your views about the Diana/Claude sub-plot and Maxine's response. It must be hard for a writer of historical fiction to "get it right" about attitudes of a particular time. On one hand, certain attitudes can be irritating. On the other, if they are authentic they can add to the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-88930377805813218262010-11-19T11:35:27.218+00:002010-11-19T11:35:27.218+00:00I'm glad you liked this book, Dorte, I liked i...I'm glad you liked this book, Dorte, I liked it very much. I think that Diana is very much a woman of her time, and the Diana/Claude story reflects prevalent attitudes in those days...so irritating but probably quite realistic! I have read the next two in the series and have enjoyed them all very much (though I do not usually read historical fiction). I did not get your "bait" post about the railings, even though I've read the novel and on reading your review am reminded of how it opens!Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.com
