Nora is my all time favorite. This one fell a little short for me, but overall I still enjoyed it. It was one of her early stories (back in 1988), so it's understandable that it is just slightly lower than the newer stories 40+ years of experience draws out. It still had her classic romantic charm. I did struggle a bit with liking Johanna, but was glad to see her soften and open up more. Overall I did really like Sam, though he was a bit too pushy at times. While it's not high on the list of ones I'd tell people about, I would still recommend it.
