About this deal

A lot of drama and twists of fate before the happy ending coupled with an unexpected turn-around in circumstances. Kate, on the other hand, takes charge of every circumstance with her practical hard working personality, overcoming every obstacle except her sense of place. This was a good "guilty pleasure" historical romance, as tasty and insubstantial as a box of chocolates. Still, rather than being bitter toward her childhood friend, Kate does her best to help Josie come safely through whatever wild plan she’s dragged Kate into.

She is often repentant after the fact and occasionally shows flashes of maturity even at her worst though they don’t last. Whilst Kate grows up knowing only poverty and servitude, Josie's world is one of privilege and luxury.

I know this happens in fiction, but usually it's because they are seeking the person they suddenly find. Some parts of the book seemed a bit contrived to fit the story and didn't really represent natural occurrences.

Bottom line, the story is nicely resonant of its historical setting, shedding light on the biases and foul behaviors as much as the strength of bonds even when society would frown on them. Kate hurried homeward as fast as the iron-clad pattens would allow, wrapping her thin shawl a little tighter around her head and shoulders. Another flaw is that several times when the principle characters are at rock bottom, rescuers suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The child of a noblewoman born out of wedlock is also in her care after she found the mother already in labor by the river.
