Mr. Meeson's Will (Large Print Edition) Book

True love conquers all.....,

Or does it? Ann More comes to London to stay with her aunt and hopefully gain a position in the household of the aging Queen Elizabeth, although Ann's forthright nature is a bit of a hindrance and a slightly disgraced Ann is relegated to assisting in her aunt's household. Ann soon catches the eye of her uncle's secretary and erstwhile poet, John Donne, but she'll have none of him - at first. When the two eventually recognize the love they share they have an uphill battle as Ann must marry when and where her father commands and John is entirely unsuitable for the well-to-do More family. Can true love survive and the lovers surmount the odds against them?

Outside of that I really don't want to go much further. If you know Donne's history you know what happens and if you don't I don't want to spoil it for you. While not the fastest paced book ever written, I found this to be an enjoyable read despite Ann seeming a bit too forthright and modern for the period. Why, oh why are our historic heroines always able to travel anywhere alone unattended, speak out as they please with no consequences, have a great education from an overly doting male relative as well as being able to leap tall buildings with a single bound? Well maybe not the last but you get the picture. A good light read.
