Fräulein Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther

An epistolary novel, giving us only one side of the conversation. We spend a year with Fraulein Schmidt's letters to almost-fiance Mr Anstruther. A lot of this was lovely, talking about the simple life of an educated woman during what must be the end of the 19th century. But a lot of this also dragged, considering the format was very limiting and Fraeulein Schmidt likes to muse about the beauty of meadows. I fluctuated between 2 or 3 stars, but then the ending thankfully went the way I hoped it would. Even though it rendered our main character's actions either a bit clueless or rather cruel.
