“H.S. Cross’s Amanda is a historical romance of a grand, old-fashioned and very British variety, with hints of L.P. Hartley, D.H. Lawrence and Evelyn Waugh—an impressive feat for an American author writing many decades after them... the first and final sections are compelling and ultimately convincing, which is one of the most difficult things a love story can be. Much like love itself, reading about Jamie and Marion’s journeys back to each other is both a thrilling and maddening pursuit.”
