A slow, charming comfort read in which practically nothing happens. It gave major “Mansfield Park” vibes in the middle, and the whole thing reads like if you sucked almost all the social commentary and wit out of Austen…but not in a bad way? I don’t mind an airy book, and I have a lot of patience if the setting is lovely (an old manor house in the Scottish countryside!), so this worked out just fine for me.
