"If you are a devotee of Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, and gothic romance novels, you will love Diane Shute's novels. Pick up the books and, like a great gothic read, you won't want to put them down till you get to end! They are filled with suspense, mystery, a wonderful confusion of love and lovers, and all written in an elegant style that shines with the language of the times. Enjoy!”
