Mellifluence 2008-08-03 ch 40,	abuseBeautiful, heart-warming and breathtakingly real. A truly mature, thoughtful take on the oft-mauled historical romance genre. Two thumbs up! ^^
Krirobe 2008-07-16 ch 1,	abuseI read this story so long ago, but at the time, I didn't have a chance to leave a review. I haven't stopped thinking about it, though. It was very beautiful. The characters seemed to have been effortlessly created, simple and complex at the same time somehow. And I remember the plot to be seamless. Though really long, I feel like every moment had some value. What particularly struck me was how you didn't overdo the atmosphere of colonial times, how you made it seem real and down-to-earth with some tension but without the overdramatization that most historicals I think are prone to. When she followed her love across the ocean at the end, it really made me think about how a person who moved away really lost almost every connection to the people of his/her past during that time. How did you discriminate in what to include of your research for this story because it must have taken a lot of reading of history books? Anyway, it was an admirably well thought out (and felt) story, and I am happy to have read it. Best of luck with your writing!

not signed in b/c of person... 2008-05-01 ch 26, anon.	abusethis is the chapter where i knew, for sure, that you're going to be famous some day. there is no explaining this kind of masterful story-telling other than by sheer, raw talent. you leave me awed and inspired. and this is coming from a senior english major at yale who hasn't yet met a better natural writer among her peers. please get published.
Written 2008-03-20 ch 40,	abusewhat a mature, beautiful story. well done! I was surprised to see that you are only a year older than my younger brother. I guess talent does not know age :)
Blcknblu 2008-03-16 ch 40,	abusei dont know why i never read the last two or three chapters. Some how i never received an email from fictionpress telling me they were up. but anyway... that was so sweet! i loved how it took a turn for the better all so suddenly! she said no and then boom!- theyre off to england. it was so sweet with Oliver and Elizabeth! You did a really good job on this story. Keep up the good work!
