Title: Romance Novel diguised as Literature
Product review: This was probably one of the most disappointing books I have ever read all the way through to the end. It was my book group's selection, so I was determined to finish it, no matter how awful it continued to be. And that it did. The entire novel strained credulity - how is it Louisa got to be 30+ years old, and never had so much as a kiss exchanged with a man? Then suddenly, two marriage proposals in the course of a summer! And the references to a "Boston marriage" - is the reader to believe that Victorians were so open about homosexuality? And that a woman like Louisa, so intent on propriety, would encourage such an assumption? We are hardly that tolerant now. All in all, a waste of time and money. Get it at the library, if you have a few days to squander.
