Anna Harrington brings all her lovely skills writing to the pages of If A Lady Lingers for a quality novella!

Outlandish and charming, always ready with a smile and kind gesture Hugh Whitby won over everyone he tried to. With seemingly effortless ease Hugh inserted himself into Daisy Daring's life knowing from the first moment he met her that she was his forever. Dutiful and efficient Daisy took on the role of caring for her family. A woman talented in a field exclusively male she took no recognition for her work and struggled with the inability to openly acknowledge her successes. This was not a conventional couple yet they were appealing and the fact that they were not conventional added to their appeal! Theirs was a courtship of sweetness and respect shared by two genuine people with big hearts. While Ms. Harrington brought her usual poignant perspective to this story it was her inclusion of prominent humor that was the highlight of this work. Hugh's disarming cheer and optimism were infectious and set the tone for this book despite it's more serious content.

Anna Harrington on a regular basis features women in roles at odds with their place in historical society. While their capability is not in question she never downplays the struggles these women faced from a historical context leading to some interesting quandaries that are unique to her work. This author's writing is filled with lots of historical research that she builds into her story without making her facts overbearing. In If A Lady Lingers Anna Harrington created an exceptionally lovable couple in Hugh and Daisy, and their story will leave anyone lucky enough to come across it awash in happy feelings!
