A Bride's Story, Vol. 11 by Kaoru Mori

5.0

It was lovely to be back with this series. Here were follow Me. Smith as her prepares for his journey and his new bride / fiancé.

The book, like the rest of the series, has this gentle pace to it which is lovely. Talas especially has this air of sadness and joy in her which made me tear up. As she is a quiet character and Mr Smith is very reserved himself this volume is also very understated in the romance department.

The Details of travel take up a lot of the volume which are fun to learn about, like how the older cameras work. Ms. Mori has a great attention to detail. For example, Talas is moved by seeing her mother’s face reflected in her own when she sees her picture for the first time. It’s such a lovely detail following a technical explanation.

For touches like this and a generate grace which took some time to settle but won me over I’m giving this a (fully biased ) 5 stars

Can’t wait for the next volume as Mr. Smith backtracks to places we have seen before.
