A review by uzoma
The Secret Countess by Eva Ibbotson

5.0

Okay so I definitely had forgotten everything about this book except that I’d really liked it as a kid/teenager. How absolutely delightful to discover it now as an adult. The romance is sweet and the characters well drawn. But the thing that surprised and thrilled me the most was the humor. I was ugly laughing in the dark at many a scene. This is just what I was looking for! 

Perhaps I shall read the rest of her catalog for adults. Though I should pace myself as the writing is simple enough that it could quickly become too simple and thus boring.
