I found the first third of this novel interesting, for the heroine's situation, but lost interest and skipped to the end to find out how it was all resolved. The ending left me with some open questions. This author isn't a dry or boring writer; she has a good style and she described events and circumstances in the novel well. That said, it didn't feel particularly Victorian to me; it could have been set any time between 1800 and 1900; setting and era are quite vague. On the other hand, many readers looking for the relationship aspect prefer not to be slowed down by atmosphere. So, readable, if it holds your interest, but not memorable.
