Found this in a used book shop and read it for fun; it's a slightly endearing and nostalgic Victorian romance with a bit of mystery mixed in. Two newspaper workers come to the country to recuperate, fall in love and find some family in the process. It reflects Victorian notions of the place of the woman in the home, I would say. An interesting read for the historical context.
