Title: Laura Kinsale's books are keepers.
Review: From where I sit I can see five books by Laura Kinsale on my shelves. I love re-reading them. I find her characters interesting, and hope she has some more books out soon.I would like to say something in Maddy's defense. I like her, and understand that for a devout Quaker there would be a bone deep conflict of life styles, religious doctrine, and personal beliefs, in many ways large and small between her and Christian a member of the Church of England. The Plain Folk, Quakers, believe in a simple life. They do not believe in military service, preachers in church, personal adornment, or titles. In a marriage even small differences over saying grace at dinner, or not, can cause trouble.For Maddy to commit to a lifetime of alienation from fellow believers, to be shunned, by her life long friends is no small matter.
