Goodreads Review
Upon Your Return
by Marie Lavender (Goodreads Author)
This novel was very smoothly written, allowing the reader to
immerse themselves fully in the storyline. Lavender stays firmly in the
time period that she’s chosen, weaving her tale in and out of the
social norms of the day (which she does take the time to point out for
her audience, rather than assuming that they know). This is not only an
intriguing and unique historical romance, but it was also historically
significant. Lavender brings everything together in a multilayered
storyline that’s about more than just the romance.
I quite enjoyed the diversity of characters in this novel. I really felt for the main character. She was left questioning social norms while trying to fit into them, despite the difficulties that her desires set in her way. I was left with one lasting question about the characters however. What in the world was up with the main character’s mother and her uncle. It was made out as very important in the story yet was never explained.
This was a sensually sweet story that had me smiling and cringing in turn. I quite enjoyed this novel and would definitely look further into works by this author.
Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
