Webb's vivid descriptions of the English countryside and the characters' inner lives make for a rich and immersive reading experience. The novel is a timeless tale of forbidden love and the complexities of human relationships.The gate clicked and she was there. She had never looked so frail, so provocative; she had never been more purposeful or less desirous of admiration. They went in. Lily was genuinely pleased; after the rambling ruin at home, impossible to keep in order even for more industrious hands than hers, the compact, neat little home was delightful. She thought how easy the work would be. She was not meant for the hardy magnificence of manual labour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
