I read the story a few days ago, but I knew there was no need of an immediate comment, as I certainly would not forget this one and return again; so now I mulled it over in my mind for a while, thinking about what makes it so special... It is a HP story, no doubt about it, but it also is one of universal human issues and truth, which effects the reader on so many levels. And the biographies of real English women of the 19th century always run along under the surface - this fic is not so purely a fantasy-story as so many others are.
The prominent theme of calling the partner "Dearest" was one of the details that almost had me in tears ♥
