Beautiful. A love story for all time, so much joy and satisfaction. I read Rules of Civility not long ago, and it's hard to imagine these are written about the same time period in the same country. Wildly different books, but the richness and purity of this story are so much more real to me.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I got completely sucked into the story. The language was great. 
I just loved it.
