The romance between Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning is a renowned one. That being said, I struggled with the narrative of their romance in The Swan's Nest by Laura McNeal.

The side characters become the vehicle for moving the story forward but create a distance from the main story. That paradigm does shift later in the book, but unfortunately too late for this reader.
