A surprising book. It isn't what I call Regency romance. It isn't witty and amusing in a way those romances are. 
 This book is of an own kind. I have enjoyed it very much, there were even moments when I thought it was amazing. 
 What I love the most is a transformation which Amber underwent, although she wasn't the only one which changed. Her changes were very realistic. They weren't sudden. They needed time to evolve. 
 The second thing I like the most is a story of relationship between sisters and between a daughter and a mother. It was priceless. Yes, it was a little sad but it was so true and I am afraid it reflected many such kind relationships not only in those times... 
 As for a love story it is charming and sweet. 
 For me there were two novels: a clean romance and a wise psychological book about self-acceptance and finding an own path and meaning of own life. And I like more the latter. 
 [PS I would like to read more about Fenton and Darra. I would like to know and understand them better.] 
 Edit: I forgot to add my favorite quotes: 
 Perhaps that is what everyone does, she thought. We pass our discomfort to someone else so as not to carry so much of it ourselves 
 She had never before imagined that one aspect of a person could have such power as to change every detail of their existence 
 "No one can expect approval from every other person in the world--even the young woman you were in London did not expect such a thing--but I believe all of us can expect those few who matter to us to see past our limitations"
