![]() ![]() It is, in many ways, a very classic, Georgian England-set historical, with a shy wallflower who charms a rather surly duke, initially by insulting him, and subsequently by being too adorable to resist. It completely captured me.Īnd yet, I’m struggling to articulate why. So when I found myself carrying my Kindle from room to room as I went about my business, reading with one eye on the screen while I replied to text messages or Facebook posts, propping it up against the knife block so I could read it while I chopped quinces (do not try this at home) or rolled out pastry, holding it in one hand while I stirred not-quite-spanakopita filling, and needing to set timers for everything because of my tendency to wander back to my room to read, forgetting that anything was on the stove… yeah, this book broke my reading slump alright. My mind is distracted, and while I can concentrate well enough on the things I need to do for work or around the house, my ability to fall into a book and lose myself there seems to have evaporated. I’ve been having a lot of trouble finishing books recently. ![]()
