I used to love Iris Bromige books. They remind me of DE Stevenson, Elizabeth Cadell, and Agnes Sligh Turnbull. Gentle romances, old fashioned, and set in simpler times.
This book is about a woman named Diana that ran away from an engagement in part because of her domineering father. When he dies five years later, she returns home to her small Welsh town and sees her ex-fiancé again. He's very much not forgiven her and frankly takes too long to forgive her. Diana however, has grown up during the five years she was gone and has learned a lot about herself.
This wasn't my favorite Iris Bromige book, but it was good enough. 3.5 stars.
