The Glittering Hour by Iona Grey
4.0

Lovely piece of historical fiction. It's definitely a love story rather than a romance, and at first I was put off by Alice's portions, but I think it worked overall. The structure works well, and there's a marvelous sense of the time period. I think there could be been fewer character perspectives--did we really need the piece from Alice's governess? I get having supporting characters with backstories, but still--but enjoyed it overall.
