![]() ![]() She very much reflects what I think of when I imagine some of the women at the end of the nineteenth century, still being subjected to societal pressures to marry but also forward thinking in wanting to pursue a career. I loved the heroine, Elizabeth, who is called Lizzie by almost everyone except her husband. Someone who wants to read about heroes like Lisa Kleypas’ Derek Craven, would love this book. ![]() But I found that, despite the shift in setting, many of the conventions are the same, although the make-up of New York society is different from British society, with new moneyed individuals competing with old families for influence. I love historical romance, but I have always avoided American historicals, due to the perceived differences between them and British historicals. ![]() Magnate.
