*Revelations*
**4.5 Stars**
This book is set in Regency times where everyone has to be proper, but going to a remote gothic estate anything goes!!!
The main star of this book is Edith aka Eddie. She is 22 and an aspiring writer. Her best friend and constant companion is Rose and they grew up doing everything together.
As youths they experimented with kissing and it was quite funny to read. One of them finds it more meaningful. Eddie never wants their relationship to stay the same but as they grow up things change when Rose meets a man and to Eddie’s horror there is talk of marriage.
Eddie is feeling left out due to Rose’s relationship then she meets a famous poet Nash Nicholson and is charmed by him. She discusses her wish to write and when she gets an invite to go to his rundown Gothic estate she takes Rose with her and Rose’s soon to be husband who has a penchant for rabbits
Nash, his wife and a few other artsy types make the journey and Rose completely gets the measure of him but Eddie is blinkered seeing him as her connection to the world of writing. When he promises to speak to his editor/agent as long as he can read what she has written Eddie is over the moon and hankers down. He makes her feel her writing is not good enough and says he will make the necessary edits, really!!!
Over time Eddie eyes begin to open to what and who Nash is and all at once Eddie realises where her heart lies and what and who is important to her as things slot into place and a secret is revealed re Rose’s upcoming nuptials.
