4.0
This novel takes a basic marriage-of-convenience plot and combines with a mystery and a pen-pal plot. Both characters are loveable but flawed, and both grow over the course of the novel until they are strong enough to step into their social roles.
Graphic: Self harm
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Sexual assault
Ellen's "penances" involve significant self-harm.
