I have read a fair number of triad/polyamorous stories, but this one, set in the 1800s, is one of the most charming, and I recommend it without reservation to anyone who enjoys stories about good people making presumptions and mistakes, but working out how to correct the missteps even when what it promises to lead to is unusual and won't always be easy. The prose is clear, and vivid. Read this one. ( )

This was a sweet coming together of three people, and it was a lovely slow journey; this author always seems to pack a lot into her writing, so this is short yet has tons of feeling. ( )

Very tender. The characters convinced me that they were capable of communicating honestly with each other and making an unconventional relationship work. I liked the prose, which is no great surprise.
