There was something fresh and interesting in the story. OPINION: I wanted to really love this book. Theo, sent by his father to learn some responsibility, is insulted by Martha’s offer, but is happy to take the widow up on a month of irresponsible sex. She approaches a temporary newcomer to the area, Theo Milkwood, with a proposition. So she concocts a scheme: she will quickly get pregnant and pass the child off to as her husband’s heir. THE STORY: Martha Russel is newly widowed and determined to protect the people of her estate from her husband’s brother who stands to inherit. FINAL DECISION: An intellectually interesting twist on the normal romance story, but ultimately I found the book too uneven to be a great book.
