Rowena I gave up on first, then Victoria and, finally Prudence. <i>Especially</i> at the end. But then, I hate it when MCs do what Prudence did thinking it will actually be some kind of solution to her problem(s).Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-29207981734047202052013-01-15T17:00:43.316-08:002013-01-15T17:00:43.316-08:00I like this book so far though Rowena and Victoria...I like this book so far though Rowena and Victoria can be annoying. I like Prudence anyway. I haven't read very much of it yet so we shall see...<br /><br />Sometimes mean characters can be fun. That is why Thomas and O'Brian are so interesting on Downton Abbey :)Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-20999373067787418702013-01-15T08:24:58.722-08:002013-01-15T08:24:58.722-08:00Historical fiction normally isn't something I ...Historical fiction normally isn't something I read a lot of, but I really like the sounds of this one though.
