Reread because Anne Stuart's first two Rohan books are clearly an homage to this and These Old Shades. The original is still better, but Stuart at least doesn't buy into quite all the dreck about the inherent superiority of the aristocracy. Mary shooting Vidal is the best thing ever.
I enjoyed this book so much and I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it justice with my review. I just feel like I can’t articulate what it is that I loved.

In doing so, she ruins her own, and so Vidal offers to marry her to save it...Hands down my ...
