The plot was very complex compared to most books from this period I have read. A summary (which can't possibly to it justice!): Dorothea is a woman with very strict ideals who marries what she thinks a husband should be like, it turns out that she was disill...more

Dorothea is a bright, idealistic young gentlewoman who marries an ...  Read the complete review
