I loved everything about how Gunning told this tale. The dialogue, historical detail, and believable characters were masterfully done. "Lydia" questions society's rules and expectations as a recently widowed woman on pre-revolutionary Cape Cod. This is the story of a woman with spirit and courage as she struggles for her own "independence". I've walked the same areas of this town and found the "tour and descriptions" at the end of the book a wonderful addition. Her other book, Bound, taking place in the same area several years later is already on my shelf.
