Ignacio M ignms — There are several homages pointed out in the historical note for this book, and a number of throwaway allusions that aren’t mentioned (notably the two doctors named “Kibbles” and “Bitts,”) but what I most noticed was a drawing room comedy style that made me think of writers like Oscar Wilde. It’s actually a bit exhausting at first, so many bon mots and dry turns of phrase, and I wondered how well it would hold up for an entire romance. Luckily the style calms down a bit when our heroine Linnet meets our hero Piers... or actually, calm down isn’t the right term at all. Because sparks definitely fly. James made the most unexpected things work for me in this book. Historical anachronisms seemed charming; the bickering couple were delightfully engaged in an offbeat flirtation. This is one of those lovely, all too rare romances where the main characters spend lots of time together. For much of the book, Linnet wakes up to find Piers perched on her bed, poking at her things with his cane or dripping hot chocolate on her face, in a wonderfully friendly-enemy sort of way. (This improbable scenario in a historical romance is somewhat more plausible in context.) I won’t bother going into the plot, but amongst all the other homages, the most obvious one of all -- to “Beauty and the Beast” -- seemed very weakly drawn and pointless at first. But James had a surprise in store, and I absolutely loved it. This was an unique and uniquely engaging story. I keep thinking of a review of Robin McKinley (though not, unfortunately, of one of her two “Beauty and the Beast” rewrites): "Any book that, at one point or another, reminded me of The Sheikh, Gunga Din, Islandia, and The Lord of the Rings can't be anything but a true original." Come to think of it, any book that reminds you of "House," dogfood commercials, and Oscar Wilde could easily be the worst book ever written. Happily, it’s not.
