One response to “Rescuing Lord Inglewood by Sally Britton

    I have enjoyed all of Sally Britton’s books and so it is no surprise that I loved this one too. I like her writing style. This story was full of angst since both the main characters were broken or flawed in ways that prevented them from seeing life as it truly was. Esther saw her life through a lens that made her believe no one wanted her, treated her as a burden and opening her heart would leave her vulnerable. Silas’s lens was that it was his duty to take things in hand, make good decisions and maintain his honor at all costs. Neither could see each other’s view point clearly and thus we have serious conflict in a marital relationship. He doing what is best for her and she feeling treated like a child or his subject rather than his partner in marriage.

    I don’t always enjoy lots of angst in a book. I judge how good the story is by my reaction to it. Did it make me roll my eyes, or did it make me want to throttle characters who couldn’t see clearly? If it makes my emotions highly involved in the story then it is good. In this book I wanted to throttle both main characters. “Noooo, tell her why you are doing that!” “Noooo, tell him how you feel!” In other words, I was made to care about these people. I wanted them to choose better so they could reach their happily ever after. But we had to have some angst before we could get to that point. I found myself choked with emotion at some points in the story. I could feel the characters’ pain and wanted to cry right along with them.

    This story is an example of how difficult it would be to be a woman in this time period where fathers, brothers and husbands made decisions for women and not always to their benefit. I have a hope inside that there were many men who learned as Silas did that women could and should be consulted in decision making. Reading stories that show that progress helps me believe that it happened in real life too.
