Now, I had never met a lemon-squash personally, but I had often heard of it, and wished to show my familiarity with British culinary art.

‘It would ’ardly be a substitute for gooseberry-tart, miss; but shall I bring one lemon-squash, miss?’

Es un libro que me cuesta valorarlo por varias razones:
La primera es que es muy cortito y el argumento es muy sencillo. No he llegado a conectar con los protagonistas porque la autora no ha profundizado mucho en ellos.
La segunda razón son las constantes interrupciones en la lectura para leer las MU

Una joya literaria con unas ilustraciones preciosas. Aunque la base es de novela romántica como tal, tiene pinceladas cómicas que sacan una sonrisa.
Al más puro estilo clásico.

A medio camino entre la guía de viajes y la novela postvictoriana, Cortejo en la catedral cuenta la historia de cómo el señor Copley y la joven Katherine, ambos americanos, se conocen durante un viaje a Inglaterra. Ella como acompañante de su tía en una especie de tour por las ciudades catedralicias
