Not a big fan of major psychiatric issues being cured through the power of true love, and I kind of wish the whole letter/Cyrano thing had gone on for a bit longer, but it was a perfectly fine historical.
Might be my favorite of the 5 in the Hathaways series?? In part because by now the rest of the Hathaways are beloved family members, even when we only get glimpses of them. Good spice, though, Beatrix is a female Dr. Doolittle if ever there was one, and who doesn't love a romance that starts with some good, old-fashioned love letters? I will also begrudgingly admit that I now know more about the original Crimean war (your typical geopolitical battle of egos/tragedy/travesty, when will we ever learn) than I ever suspected I would.
