与古代的联接,文艺复兴、骑士、击剑、情诗、素食,都是很迷人的元素。只是书中隐藏的故事,让人心痛。

As a lover of animals and nature, Beatrix Hathaway has always been more comfortable outdoors than in the ballroom. Even though she participated in the London season in the past, the classic beauty and free-spirited Beatrix has never been swept away or seriously courted…and she has resigned herself to the fate of never finding love.

When Beatrix learns of Pru’s disappointment, she decides to help by concocting Pru’s letters to Christopher for her. Soon the correspondence between Beatrix and Christopher develops into something fulfilling and deep…and when Christopher comes home, he’s determined to claim the woman he loves.

Hathaway系列中最喜欢的一本。Beatrix也是此系列中我最喜欢的女主角。故事超迷人,所以我还是喜欢这种拯救受伤男人的老掉牙情节吗……但是有个热爱动物、与大自然亲近的女主角,整本书的氛围也十分动人。书中提到的Over the Hills and Far Away也很好听

这个故事很讨人喜欢。作者认识到前一本失败开始反省了吗?两个人感情的推进,每一步,每一个细节,都很迷人。而且他们都是经历过大磨难的人,能再去信任别人,尤其是互相信任,都很不易。这样的感情,让两个晦暗的人都重新散发出夺目光彩。

Hathaway系列中最不喜欢的一本。男女主角分开来都描写得很好,但他们建立情感的过程却莫名其妙,写得很突兀。就好像才写开头, 就直接到结尾了。
