Up next on my reading list is "The House at Tyneford." It's been represented as a "Downtown Abbey"-esque period-piece. It's a romance, but not in the harlequin sense.

The reviews on Amazon have been mostly positive (with a few complaints about the novel being predictable,) but I haven't talked to anyone who has read it. I don't normally read romantic novels, but this one caught my eye. It's set during World War II, and the heroine is the daughter of an opera singer and a novelist, but her family is also Jewish and living in Vienna in 1938. She's sent to England to become a parlor maid.
