I just stumbled upon this novel by Cat Sebastian and I must say that was a lovely surprise! It is a totally believable story of an early 19th century village community, full of atmosphere and a little bit of suspense. A great bit of escapism. The fact that the romance is a gay one and lovely depicted in the context of the time adds greatly to the charm of the story. And do not start me on the narration by Joel Leslie. As always: spot on! I would give this 6 stars if I could.
