But with her age she is already as an "old maid" considered because in their time were women married at their age long ago and had their own little family.

Tracie Peterson's tales from the 19th Century had already inspired many readers and "The Philadelphia Story" may be only my second book by her, but it will certainly not the last. Your writing style is so fluid and sometimes very exciting and emotional, that will captivate you. The protagonist, a rapidly growing fond of Mia because she is strong and fighting for their freedom of opinion and of what she believes and wants to support.
From the perspective of Garrett is very well explained, in what mood he Mia is over and that he is torn back and forth, to protect them from the dangers into which it enters, and help her. Very funny, the situations described, in which Garrett and Mia think that everyone is in love with another, and never pass the chance is that the two find themselves together again. The cover of the book has again been carefully designed and has a touch of Mia's time itself. Alone, the modest and well-dressed girls to immerse one in Mia's time and tense guess, playing in what time period the story. All in all a great novel, with lots of historical background and an engaging story that I can only recommend.
