vague discussions of period-compliant (& unregulated) sex work; the adult/minor relationship was in the past; the majority of the book addresses the emotional difficulties resulting from the death of one's abuserwilybooklover's review against another edition
4.5
It was also nice to not only read a historical featuring a working class character, but really delve into the obstacles and classism such characters would face (especially one who is black, like Sam). This level of class consciousness is a rare treat. The side characters were so well-drawn and added to the cosy, found family vibe of the book. Despite the serious topics covered the overall tone was just sweetly domestic and heartwarming.
It wasn't a perfect book; there was a little too much time spent setting up the next book and the conclusion regarding the paintings seemed a little rushed. But I still adored every page.
