Hi, Lynn: Oh wow, I don't have an explanation...and I can't even offer my own opinino, because I haven't read that many historicals. Though, I do have several on my bookshelf I've been meaning to get to...
Hi, Rosemary: Great point. While I think most of us are aware of at least some of our quirks, I'm sure there are others we don't see...or perhaps, it's more along the lines of "don't want to see so we ignore"?
Hi, Anne: Eve is easily one of my favorite recurring characters, and I read a lot of series. Part of why I love her is because of her quirks, but I also love her strength, courage, and man--is that woman smart or what?
