Electricity was also a curiosity and thought to be dangerous.. I don't believe the actual year was mentioned. <br /><br />And how he was treated by Catherine is the norm nowadays sometimes too. It makes me so angry!!!! :( If I could b*tch slap all people like that...

Unfortunately how he is treated by Catherine was the norm at this time. I was bothered a little that Jim felt like he had to have money in order to have someone love him and that he had to resort to illegal methods. <br /><br /> This review gave just enough of the story to peak someones interest in it. <br /><br /> I really liked the quote at the end of the review. We are going to be added it to our quote collection. <br /><br />RonFurryReadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325273525653570169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083084222355114149.post-68279300722888944072011-10-19T13:15:14.255-07:002011-10-19T13:15:14.255-07:00That pulsing, throbbing, or heaving bosoms thing i...That pulsing, throbbing, or heaving bosoms thing is what drives me crazy with romances. I hate being reminded of it and having it thrown back in my face.<br /><br />Absolutely love that quote. Might have to add that to our quote collection.<br /><br />I probably missed it, but what time frame is this set in? Did you feel the author kept the deaf character, Jim, authentic to the time period? It is a shame that Jim had to resort to shady dealings to feel he was worthy, but sadly that is how society treated people who weren't their ideal of "normal".<br /><br />DawnFurryReadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325273525653570169noreply@blogger.com
