was."

The Plot:

The book is

best saw once we partition the occasions into an arrangement of two eras… one

before… a solid Victorian captivated time of the 1800s, brimming with taking off

feelings and limited enthusiasm. Here the writers Randolph Henry Ash and

Christabel LaMotte, meet by chance, horrendously cut out a corner in each other's

lives as companions, well understanding that to go any further would be the end of

honesty. At that point comes the present, around a century later… a period similarly
