Though this was a typical tale of broken-hearted man and fresh-faced miss, it is so well written that it became new again!

Even his changing nature at the end was brilliant because after all - he was struggling against his own nature. Kate was a nice change of pace too. Fresh faced, plain speaking daughter of an Irish doctor, you knew she would be lively. All the secondary characters and stories were well thought-out and were enjoyable too.
