Edmund Sherritt, Major Lord Canforth, married his wife, Felicity eight years ago and two weeks later left to serve in several war campaigns. Now he’s returning to a woman he fell in love with but was unsure of her feelings for him. It’s been a long time and he doesn’t know if she’s even interested in continuing their relationship.
This is such a lovely story, the Christmas season being an ideal setting for Edmund and Felicity to reunite. Their first encounter upon his return was also fitting, with no one else around and both "unarmed" as it were as neither was prepared for the moment. I liked how we were given both points of view to see where each was coming from as they sometimes awkwardly reacquainted with each other, taking small and tentative steps forward. It felt natural, authentic and endeared them both to me. In a short time, I got fully invested in these two and rooted for their relationship.
Edmund and Felicity's story was the perfect start to the holiday season. There’s nothing forced about their love for one another and it was poignant that these two were separated so soon after their marriage and not given time to express their feelings to each other. As usual, Campbell gives us some sensuality with her romance, making this an all around gem of a story.
