review 1: Turgid melodrama.Heroine is a Mary Sue- three men are in love with her. She ends up hurting two of them. She rescues injured miners, helps the poor, educates needy girls, takes care of her orphaned step-brother, etc.Characters conveniently die off when their usefulness to the plot is over, eg, baby Daniel, her Gather, and finally poor Doyle, who was nothing more than a plot device.I cannot recommend this book.In addition Kindle formatting was all off, making for confusing reading as POV switched.
review 2: I loved this book. I was rooting for Grace Woodruff the whole way through as she struggles to care for her sisters and find her place in the world. I find Anne Whitfield's books dramatic and very human, depicting the deeply felt emotions of betrayal, infideli... morety and disappointments in love. She brings the Victorian era to life beautifully, with a well researched glimpse of life in a wealthy Victorian household in Yorkshire in 1870, which I found as intriguing as Downton Abbey, and the restrictions faced by women who are at the whim of tyrannical men. Each of the sisters is strongly drawn and have their own stories to tell. I couldn't put it down. Very nice hero in this too. less
