I was left you...Hallo, Hallo again, Ms. Turansky!!<br /><br />I was left you a hearty message over on the S&S a moment ago! :) I was dropping by OWG at the same time, and it was lovely to find you featured twofold! :) Which is why I'll solely focus on the story, rather than explaining my love of this particular section of historical fiction! :) The Edwardian era is generally not as explored as much as the two leading up to it, but I always found that extraordinary, as there is such a breadth of context that could be ruminated into story! The book trailer is smashing, as I liked the actors of whom were selected to bring the main characters into light for the reader who is considering reading the book, as much as the cinescope of sound bearing the resemblance of 'emotional conviction' that anyone who reads & watches period dramas can attest to being part of the appeal! :)<br /><br />As I read Ms. Flowers review, I am pulled back into Rochester's world, as foresaid (on S&S) I am in the middle of <i> Jane Eyre </i> and this harkens back to me thinking of Rochester's impression of Eyre! There is such a complex to unravel when the custodian of children are so against the warmth and inspiration of the women who are drawn into their life, either for employment as a Governess, or simply, as someone who is trying to broach through that cold barrier they've erected to brace themselves for experiencing what they demean unsuitable or needed. Part of me thinks on aspects of "The Secret Garden" as well.<br /><br />I had to smile whilst reading Ms. Flowers mentioning Eyre, as I was composing my thoughts above prior to reading her revelation at the end, as I tend to compose my comments on OWG as I 'read' rather than after I have 'read'!! :) This is definitely a book I will enjoy reading and I am hopeful now, it will be amongst the offerings soon at my local library! :)<br /><br />Thank you for offering such a delightful giveaway!<br />Is the teapot able to be used OR is it for decoration!?<br />In either case, its a joy to see it being given, because I adore tea & the role tea plays throughout English History!<br />[OWG!][inkand-blogaways(at)usa(dot)net]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-62120094514774100202013-10-21T10:10:15.327-04:002013-10-21T10:10:15.327-04:00Beautiful review!
