Innate curiosity and an itch for adventure versus sensible. Sensible comes out second best nearly every time and gets Constance Wynchcomb into more than one tight spot; but no one can say she is just a spectator on her own life. Granted, she is without a dowry, with no social rank or status and is the companion and nursemaid for one of her mother’s well-positioned distant cousins, but she has educated herself much better than most young women. Her genuineness and loyalty shine in many events but never more than when she puts herself in danger to save a lost soul who has been mistreated for almost three decades. Her tenacity and her standing up for what she wants makes her story shine.
Evan Galworthy’s story intrigued me. The secrets, hardships, and his survival skills are remarkable. However, an undercurrent of anger and hurt about his murky past that nobody will tell him about makes him feel unworthy to pursue a life with a wife and family. How his story unfolds bit by piece kept me turning pages. Even though he loves Constance, he feels he must let her go. He does get a “set-down” from her when she tells him not to presume what she needs and then she proceeds to take matters into her own hands—delightful reading!
Mrs. Crook, the inn owner, and the bishop are two of the most interesting secondary characters I’ve read about in a while. They do surprise.
Sarah Richmond does a great job of revealing how the social structure is changing as new inventions and a new rich segment of working people come emerge in early twentieth century England, while entertaining the reader with the deeds and misdeeds of flawed characters, some of whom rise above their flaws and others who cling to their flaws to the very end. Her writing style makes for smooth reading.
