I love Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, etc. While this book doesn't feel quite as 19th century, I thought it was a cute story. I appreciated that the main characters had good morals. I get frustrated with historical fiction that gives the characters 21st century morals. It makes the book feel like a soap opera in Regency clothes. Not what I'm looking for when I pick up a book set in the 1800s.The main character was a little dramatic (and kind of obsessed with the guy's body...like a mod
...ern teenage girl would be), but I forgave her. The book had elements of some of my favorite classics. Although the dialogue often felt modern, at least it was close to being accurate. Overall I enjoyed this lighter read in my favorite era.

Me declaro fan de Julianne Donaldson, me encanta como escribe a pesar de que en esta novela se ha repetido la palabra pájaro montones de veces. Esta novela no me ha gustado tanto como Edenbrooke pero me ha gustado mucho, son novelas muy diferentes, porque Blackmoore es como más negra por decirlo de alguna manera, más triste, más sufrida, más cruel.Su protagonista vive atormentada por su estricta madre cuyo pasatiempo es ser una descarada y de dar mala fama a su familia, una mujer sin un ápice de amor por sus hijos que sin embargo deben cumplir con todos sus caprichos, una mujer que sería capaz de venderlos con tal de lograr sus objetivos.Kate no se parece en nada a su madre y a sus hermanas, ella se siente enjaulada y no sabe como escapar, sus únicos momentos de felicidad son los que comparte con sus vecinos y mejores amigos, Henry que es tres años mayor y con Sylvia. Kate a veces ve en ellos la salvación pero la madre de los dos hermanos la desprecia por ser hija de quien es. El mayor deseo desde niña de Kate ha sido visitar la propiedad que Henry heredará algún día de su abuelo "Blackmoore", tarda muchos años en conseguirlo y cuando por fin lo hace no puede imaginar que incluso tan lejos de su hogar será incapaz de librarse de la cadena con que su madre la tiene prisionera.

Great read, couldn't put it down. Just what I was looking for, I hope to see more books like this, around the same era. I liked the young Mr Brandon but loved Henry and Kate, Thank you!
