“I’ve seldom liked wlw historical fiction/romance because they so often read like period drama with So Much Clothing Description and constant angst and forced explanations of ‘but no, we mustn’t, yet methinks our desire is suspected’. Agg, methinks my jaw is broken from gritting my teeth — make it stop. So I was thrilled to have tried this one, and found it hard to put down. The limited and often harsh options of unattached women were starkly depicted but carried gently in an almost sensuous prose by the MC pov. We share the rare bright moments of a tender connection, emptiness of realities, spirit assaults of misogyny, classism, and marginalization, and yet, old as time, ‘…the women save themselves’.” – iamgrewt at Kindle
