Characters who change, have depth and a house with so much depth the owners are practically swimming in old armaments and side tables. Tradition with a modern spin, in a book that updates the classic girl meets boy love story.

This book was very good for what it was: a wonderful little escape into the (aristocratic) Scottish countryside. I had read one of Browne's books before, and I was hesitant to read this one, because I felt the ending was rushed on the other. However, Swept Off Her Feet didn't have that issue at all - it was well paced and thoroughly satisfying.
My only complaint? The cover art does not to the book any justice at all. Looking at it, you'd never know it was about a girl who lives for antiques, that it takes place mostly in a dusty Scottish castle, or that it features quite a bit of reeling, but no other dances. I would never have picked this up if it hadn't been recommended to me.

Since Covid I have been choosing a physical book to read during my bath each night. As a result, it takes me much longer to get through these books than normal. I tried to choose books without an overly complicated plot. This book definitely fit the bill.
I’ve slowly been making my way through Hester Browne’s books. I really enjoy the pace of storytelling, the level of detail (which is good for me - enough to visualize but not excessive), and the overall characters. While the story was comfortingly predictable, I didn’t feel like it was prescriptive in any way. More so, I was excited to see how things would play out. I’m also a bit of a sucker for the “old timey” narratives. The dark cold kitchen, the canopy beds, the traditional annual formal dance. Overall, a great book!

I loved this book
It's a light quick read but doesn't make it any less good
It's such a pick me up kinda book that just makes you feel good
I think I loved the fact Evie lived in a fantasy world and is always daydreaming, I can imagine doing the same if I was her .
It's a lovely book x
