turophile's review against another edition
4.0
The book is based on the expectations that are placed on a woman and what can happen when she fails. The heroine Helena was supposed to marry a neighboring landowner, but instead elopes with a business man traveling through her town. The marriage is happy but he’s killed in a freak accident. She’s required to travel back to her home village where she fears, with good reason, that she’ll be rejected.
Did her elopement really doom the village? We’ll never know, but there’s plenty of questions raised I enjoyed this book, but felt like the writers style needed more development. At times it felt like there were too many characters to keep track of and that it could have been simplified. Still very engaging. I hope she continues to write.
