This was a lovely Valentine's Weekend read.

I liked this in many ways, the main character is a woman interested in early feminism and uninterested in marriage.
I loved the historical imformation, this authors research is top notch and smoothly included in the narrative.
Still I don't much care for romance as a genre.

Melanie For some reason the pandemic sucked me in. Disaster on my Amazon algorithm.

I agree. I think I'm gonna rest in romance for a bit.
Brain candy!
