Lady Alice has all the privilege in the world but none of the happiness. When she’s exiled to Balmoral, she doesn’t expect to be so impacted by the people and place. I adore Scotland, and the author did justice by it. Scotland and its people are pivotal for Alice’s perspective shift. Though I found some of the relationship dynamics clunky, it was overall charming, especially the side characters. I appreciated the focus on Alice’s reflections and really digging into mental health and seeing her come full circle.
