This was a delightful story; the author kept events coming, so the whole impetus was not about Marianne getting married. I liked that the author rounded out the characters and gave them something else to do besides always talking about emotions. Lately, that is all I've been reading: authors who spend the whole book talking about getting married and the feelings it engenders.
This book was engaging and well-written. It is realistic. Three young women are leaving Miss Wolfraston's Seminary for Ladies. Marianne is joining her Aunt Fanny in Cheltenham, a smaller Bath-type resort for those taking the waters. Before it is over, a shocking event in Cheltenham leaves the locals and visitors reeling.
One of the great things about this book was the characters grew as they interacted with others. The characters had engaging backstories that explained much about their current behaviors. This story moved smoothly and was a delight to read.
