This second in the Chronicles of Carlingford introduces some fascinating characters who will grow even more dear as the Chronicles continue. Dr. Edward Rider "was not a hero nor a martyr, men made of that stuff will have large compensations. He was an ordinary individual, with no sublimity in him..." and one of those "people... compelled to take the prose concerns of life into full consideration even when they are in love..." Then Carlingford becomes home to a little Australian, Nettie, who takes the town and the doctor's heart by storm. Favorite quotes: "Do you think it's quite the best thing to other people's duties for them..." "I never was half the good in the world that you are, but I am nearly twice as old--and one does pick up some little hints on the way." nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It’s refreshing to read a romance about imperfect characters. Dr. Rider is easily annoyed and ill suited for martyrdom, and Nettie has an exaggerated sense of duty. As troubles mount, the two must wrestle with their own natures and find a compromise that will lead to happiness. ( )
