Unclaimed Heart, by Kim WilkinsYoung Adult, 2009
From fantasticfiction.co.uk: The rules for a young English woman in 1799 are simple: Do what you're told; stay out of the way; and don't, under any circumstances, ask questions. But Constance Blackchurch is insatiable, headstrong, and complex; and the quest to find her missing mother is too much to resist. As is Alexandre Sans-Nom, the pearl diver who steals her heart, uproots all of her social expectations, and can either ruin or save the family she loves.
Raspberry: A really fun plot idea, it caught me right away. It didn't quite keep up the pace, and it seemed pretty tame for the most part, but it was a sweet story and for the most part believable. I would have like it to have been a lot more fleshed out to get to know the characters better, but all in all a sweet book.
Graded a B.
