 A wishful romance in a delightfully detailed Victorian England setting.  The dress descriptions are perfection, and the horses are magnificent. The racial & class inequalities of the day are addressed, but not wallowed in. Things are perhaps slightly rose-coloured glasses, but it's nice to  see some representation, and have it be joy, not just suffering. (Not spicy, if you are wondering)
