Review of 'The young Clementina' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This isn't a witty good cheer slice of life romance like a lot of Stevenson's work: the synopsis promises something frothy but it's kind of a downer about tragic mistakes and an ugly divorce with an unusually generous helping of imperialism and classism and so on. If you're looking for another Miss Buncle's Book, probably skip this. If you want an angsty romance with a lot of horsey people in it, go for it.
