The Tea Rose (The Tea Rose, #1)

Mela's review

Aug 18, 2015

it was amazing

bookshelves: historical-romance, historical-fiction, womens-lot, region-british, region-usa, unique-young-love, favorite-love-stories, series, historical-period-1914-1945, historical-period-long-19th-century, greatly-impressing, greatly-touching

It tells a lot about the book that I still remember this story as if I had read it a week ago (not seven years ago). I read it at a time when I didn't feel competent to write reviews. I have to re-read it, not only to give it the proper review it deserves.

“I've always admired your rather formidable will, your refusal to back away from difficulties, but sometimes strength isn't about perseverance. Sometimes it's about knowing when to quit.”
