And did Miss Bates mention the laugh-out-loud moments … Though it may be deemed a light read, frothy and fun, there were also lovely, poignant moments, moments of pain in the characters, whose effervescent mood and carryings-on, embracing of life, willingness to forgive wrong-doing, were endearing. The distancing was still there, but it was gentler. The voice was captivating, droll, affectionate towards its hero and heroine’s youthful foibles. The novel was charming and funny, and pulled at the heartstrings. Surprise, surprise … Brockway’s latest won her over. When The Songbird’s Seduction came along … well, there was a mitigating factor, the Edwardian setting. Miss Bates suspects that there was something about Brockway’s voice, a privileging of it, a bringing into the forefront of the narrative that made the reader too conscious of it.

Miss Bates will expose her uncouth romance-reading ways and admit she’s not keen on Brockway’s books.
