Josiah's Reviews > The Proposal

If you're a fan of Austen & Bronte, you may enjoy Wick's English Garden series, set in the mid-1800s Victorian England. Without reading classics on that era, you won't get much at all from these poorly written stories. Wick provides no details on settings, costumes, activities, or characters; no era-appropriate language or topics; unbelievable interactions between characters; and fully half the book is taken up without repeating the same scene over and over and over and over again! I was hoping to really enjoy this story - who wouldn't enjoy a tale about Christians in the same neighborhood as the Dashwoods and Darcy's etal?! But the poor writing just ruined it for me.
