I confess that Frances is my least favourite of the sisters. I enjoyed pieces of this book, but overall I was less than enchanted. In theory I'm all for women who refuse to marry in order to pursue their passion/work, but the execution of this plot is rarely satisfactory. Especially in this case, as Frances keeps insisting it's what she wants... only to change her mind after a tragedy. Which maybe wouldn't have bothered me so much if I actually liked Gabriel, but I couldn't stand him in this book. (I can't remember if I felt the same way when reading Sarah's Story.) Ah well. On to the next two books in the series, which I am much more excited about!

Continuing my re-read of these books I loved as a young adult. When I was younger I didn't warm to Frances that much but now I am older (older than she is in the book, strange thought...) I see her as more relatable and realise things are not as black and white. Her love story with Gabriel is very engaging.
