I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Having read and enjoyed other JoJo Moyes novels, I wasn't expecting this story to be as moving and engrossing as it was. I grew to love all of the travelling librarians, and root for them. I didn't see the twist coming (although I probably should've), and I was genuinely afraid things wouldn't turn out for the best (even though that would've rendered this not a romance!)

Moves along. Didn’t find a lot of things to ponder or that I wanted to write down. 

Didn’t seem consistent with Fred’s character or prior statements that he and Alice didn’t wait until they were married, especially considering the era. 

Parts were pretty predictable. Like the annulment.
