The story's flow is a little odd as the author randomly cuts from POV to POV (though she makes a clear distinction between them so it's still coherent), but as a fan of angst, this story is definitely very hard-hitting in that aspect! The plot is somewhat meandering as the main storyline is about the duchess who has run away, but I do enjoy the emotions it evokes in me. The translator is very friendly and enthusiastic about this as well. I recommend the story for readers who enjoy angst,... more>> especially the kind along the lines of "You never know what you have until you lose it". The story focuses a lot on the POVs of the father-and-son duo so seeing them gradually realize how the duchess has been treated throughout the years as well as their (belated) affection for her gets satisfying over time. I hope to see some intense groveling! <<less
