An informative read

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I agree totally with the other reviewer's comment, however, I would grade it little differently. I agree that the heroine was hard to like and the story lacked much of the romance, so two stars there. But I really enjoyed reading and learning how those labor classes were facing in that tumultuous post-war time, I gave it a four stars here, so derives my rating. I would recommend to borrow the book first before buying.

boring

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The back cover summary of this story looked deceptively interesting...be aware readers though that the marriage doesn't take place until the book is almost done. Hence, even the title of this book is misleading.
The heroine is rather quick to judge others, and although she is a determined do-gooder, I just couldn't warm to her. The Viscount is more likeable but again, the story plods along so slowly with so many other characters that I yawned through most of the book wondering when the two were going to have SOME romance.
The description of the textile mills, the politics of the times, and sentencing systems were all informative, the setting, too, somewhat original. I found myself feeling that if the characters were more finely drawn and if the romance was more interesting it could have been a book worth reading.
Unfortunately, no matter how informative the book, if the characters are not interesting and it does not entertain, I cannot recommend it. I will, however, probably give the author another try.
