Just added a bunch of Eva Ibbotson’s romances to my library holds to reread after this reminder. I was particularly moved by Madensky Square a few years back. The main character and her well lived life, so full of hidden yearning, has stuck with me. Eva wrote with warmth and wisdom.

Warmth and wisdom is the exact right way to describe it!

Sarah Dessen and Eva Ibbotson were two of my early author loves! I had started with Ibbotson's middle grade and moved onto her romance in high school, and they're some of the few books I still have from years ago. I did donate my Dessens to a school library, but I remember reading my first in 6th grade. I'm really looking forward to this series!

They're so worth holding on to! I read my Ibbotsons until they were falling apart...

Looking forward to your next installment. It’s interesting to hear your backstory with romance. Mine started in high school reading Georgette Heyer Regency romances. I still find those books to be better written than almost anything in that genre since.

Thank you! I've read a few Heyers and absolutely loved Cotillion.
