Nevertheless, Maddy is dismayed, and a bit puzzled by the intensity of her sadness, when word reaches her that Jervaulx has died.Ĭhristian’s not dead, though, he just wishes he were.
When her father’s work brings her into contact with Christian Langland, the “mathematical Duke” of Jervaulx, she writes him down as a practiced rake, a man of creaturely amusements (as indeed he is – we first encounter him in his mistress’s bedroom her husband catches him as he’s leaving the house and promptly calls him out). It’s Laura Kinsale at the top of her game – or anybody else’s, for that matter.Īrchimedea Timms is a sensible, strict Quaker lady, the spinster daughter of a mathematician. The story, the language, the emotional intensity: this book has everything. If you want to read a book that comes as close to perfection as any historical romance, then pick up Flowers from the Storm.
