![]() Character’s don’t really have conversations anymore so the dialogue that was the highlight of the first half is mostly lost. ![]() Unfortunately, about halfway through the whole thing takes a turn for the depressing. ![]() Izzy’s discovery that much of her perceived low-status was her own self-pity, Julian’s best friend Eric Caldwell, and the relationship between Izzy and Celia are also high points. The relationship between Izzy and Eppie Julian (thank goodness she decides to refer to him by his middle name because seriously “Eppie” isn’t really any better than “Eppingham”) is entertaining. The first half is pretty fun, full of witty exchanges and the occasionaly excessive humor at the expense of Izzy’s Aunt and Uncle whose name I can’t remember but it might as well be Dursley. In order to save face, Izzy claims that Eppie is her fiancé. Startled by an unexpected intruder in her bed, Lady “Izzy” Isadora promptly smashes him in the head with a candlestick. After being invited to the Lady Celia’s room he finds himself too drunk to remember which room is in fact hers. Or perhaps that I can recommend half of whole-heartedly. ![]() And so we go from a historical romance that I recommend whole-heartedly to one I can only recommend half-heartedly. ![]()
