For your reading pleasure, and mine, I am happy to present to you
The Berkshire Correspondence by Edith Bellamy. This story is set in the 18th century and is told through a series of letters between an aunt and her downtrodden niece. I admit that I haven't read this story in its entirety, but what I have read I have thoroughly enjoyed. This is a story in two parts and I will publish the second part when appropriate.
So, without further ado, I leave you to your reading.
