Title: Not up to her standards
Review: I have loved all of SEP's books, EXCEPT this one. This is the only historical book she has written, and while the period information is not very believable, the change in era is not the real issue. The characters do not seem in the least realistic, the chemistry between them is not very strong, and the story development is weak. I also did not like the secondary characters in this novel. Overall, if you are a fan of Ms. Phillips, stay away from this one, so your pleasure in her work remains unblemished.
