A very well written but incredibly tedious story.The characters, their lifestyles, and even relationships are so realistic that it almost feels like im reading a 16th century diary of a noblewoman with an absolute dry ham sandwich of a husband.The author put forth a lot of effort into proper research in agriculture as well as the people's lives back then so I enjoyed it some despite the way the plot was heading towards not a woman finding her own happiness but another story of a FL forgiving her husband's neglect and cruelty.Besides the downsides of so many bogged down details and the cardboard cutout of a cold Duke husband I would recommend this to anyone with a sincere interest in history.
