5/23/2023 0 Comments The Visitor by Lori Wick![]() ![]() Hopefully it’s a fluke and #4 is like the others!Īunt Harriet whisks her nephew Tate off to her home in Collingbourne, England to provide him rest and hopeful recovery of his eyesight after a tragic fall from his horse. An unmarried man hugs his female acquaintances.Īll of that together adds up to a novel that distracts from the action and which makes it feel like the author’s perspective somehow changed from the earlier books. They also frequent slang phrases like “get a move on” and “give it a go.” The unmarried women are having their lives ruined because their loves aren’t speaking to them of love but they’re expected to give encouragement before the men speak out and flirt a little to indicate interest first (say what.), and not flirting has put them in danger of dying old maids. ![]() The characters gleefully lunch and honeymoon in 1812. A man whose eyes are supposed to be getting no light is wearing “patches” instead of bandages (totally different purpose patches wouldn’t block light around the edges). A new character here is so tongue-tied around his family that he literally can’t ask them what they did that day, but he can talk to another person for hours on end. The well-developed characters from previous books are one-dimensional here. I loved the first two of the series so well that I decided to read it soon after.and this one has a completely different feel. ![]()
