Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC of A Rare Find, by Joanna Lowell! Lowell's prose is stunning, and her character studies make me feel every deliciously uncomfortable shade of longing and jealousy (complimentary). I love how character-driven and introspective her romances are, while feeling grounded in historically rich conflicts (female archaeologist fighting for acknowledgement in her field AND a treasure hunt?!). Lowell is so deliberate in building her characters into people who are deeply relatable and fallible and earnest. Also, three cheers for excellent side characters in the various Peaches, Phipps, Agnes (oh Agnes) and sundry matrons. I loved this, and I learned more than I expected about Vikings? And also, this gets 10/10 for an excellent Quaker shout-out in a brief reflection on the class protest that is Plain Speech (heck yes!).
