To see a fine lady

This is a period piece by beloved novelist Norah Lofts, who is known for her historical fiction. A master storyteller, Ms Lofts has crafted an intriguing story about Araminta Glover, an early nineteenth century English dairy maid who refused to think with her heart, rather than with her head. After many travails, Araminta caught the eye of a handsome, young, egalitarian member of the gentry. Her life would never be the same. Steeped in period detail and class conflicts, Norah Lofts offers a well-written tale about a young, independent woman who discovered that she had a promising future, after having endured much heartache and hardship. It is a book that will keep the reader turning the pages and will appeal to those readers who enjoy light historical fiction or historical romances.
