The Arrangement by Mary BaloghMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ms Balogh has a knack for writing characters that has a realism that is really appealing. This is the second book of the Survivor's Club series, this time chronicling the love story of Vincent Hunt, Lord Darleigh, who escaped the Napoleonic Wars with permanent loss of his sight.
The development of his tendre for Miss Sophia Fry is sweet though flavoured with hard practicality. It is delightful to see how a penniless orphan manages to liberate the proud aristocrat of the boundaries of his disabilities; escaping from the usual rescue trope. In this case, they rescued each other, making for a more satisfying story telling.
Lovely stuff. Go read.
Favourite quote:
"If people cannot beg pardon on one another," she said, "then nothing can be forgiven and wounds fester."
