Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews
Written on Jan 15, 2014
I'm not a romance kind of girl. It's mushy gushy and not my style. But I do like the regency era so thought I'd give An Untitled Lady a try. It was so much more than that. While the quote above had me questioning I soon realized this was not a book to be associated with Fabio. I was reminded of North & South or Elizabeth Gaskell's writing in general. An Untitled Lady was a fantastic read.
Nicky Penttila writing is so descriptive that I felt like I was there and could feel the buttons , fabric and all things that belong in a mill.
What I feel is at the heart of this novel is a marriage out of convince that slowly kindles to love. I could go on to describe the reasons why but I fear it would be most of the book. I will simple say this gradual affection for one another is a treat to see.
An Untitled Lady was a pleasure to read and knocked me out of my addiction to Candy Crush -- and that's saying a lot.
I received this book for review via the Historical Fiction Virtual Tour
