Imogen Everard has lived much of her life under the care of her uncle, an abusive money lender. His death may mean her freedom from him and the taint associated with the name they share. But her uncle, in his final act, does the unimaginable and leaves her with the burden of his estate and a large fortune, subjecting her to the vultures who will descend, and to the speculations of a gossip-hungry society.

In order to escape the avaricious designs of her family and those who would use her, she runs away, seeking refuge in a small, out-of-the-way village in Kent. Here, as a maid in a large country house, she gets her first taste of independence, a glimpse of that happiness she has so long yearned for.

But when she is discovered, she is returned to her family and to the care of her aunts who assume guardianship over her. In an effort to get at her money before she should come of age, her marriage is arranged to a collector of rare and beautiful insects.

One man is about to make the acquisition of a lifetime. But can a woman captured and acquired learn to love the man who has bought her? To do so, she must find the courage to trust him. But more than that, she must find the courage to love herself.

Disclaimer: This book addresses the repercussions of, and the ultimate transcendence over, sexual abuse and rape. While not graphic in nature, the subject matter may be triggering for some.

I really enjoyed the book and would love to see it as a movie even though it was very predictable. The characters were great and it said a lot about the time period. I would like to have seen more on the uncle’s relationship with the mother in his reminiscing.

2,0 su 5 stelle Longwinded and a tad boring
Recensito in Germania il 22 gennaio 2017

I was struggling through this. The author received a lot of praise for writing in the style of Jane Austen etc, and while I think this is a worthwile and praiseworthy endeavour, I for one was not as captured by this story as I was by those of Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters and their contemporaries.
Yes the narration style is a bit convoluted and sometimes difficult to follow, but whereas the other authors did keep me interested in the story, I must admit this one was so longwinded (and sorry to say, sometimes downright boring) that I actually only read enough of each chapter to not lose the thread.
I do not for one moment doubt that events and abuse like the ones told in this story happened in that era, on the contrary, but going through the narration was like walking through mud, each step dragging and sticky, and repetitive-sounding conversations and dialogues did not help.
Sorry to say - apart from a few passages I actually liked, on the whole this book was just okay for me, and nothing I would recommend to friends.

Through jealousy, hatred causing mistreatment, assault and continuing verbal abuse from those people that should have loved her, great strength is found in the hope of love. Such is the saga of this very involving book. Full of drama, uncertainty, tears both of deep sorrow and joy, a wonderful plot is written. A very hard book to put down. Deeply satisfying to read a book of this length with such a compelling story.

A story of deceptive beginnings. I enjoyed how the story was brought forward. Though a strong character, the lady was portrayed naive in the ways of the heart. Too many coincidences.. but hey, its a story. A good read.

It's some time since I wrote a book review, but, having just finished Of Moths and Butterflies, I felt compelled to write a few words.

If you are a lover of fast-paced fiction with action on every page, then this is not the book for you. However, if you appreciate a story that slowly but surely draws you in, written in beautiful prose with an underlying metaphorical theme running through it, then this is a book that you won't want to miss. Having said that, I wouldn't want anyone to think that this is a highbrow novel only accessible to the type of people who like to delve into that type of fiction! Almost anyone could read and enjoy this book.

I found the novel, although the story was slow moving, to be engaging just as much for the writing as for the content itself. The author has done a fantastic job of helping readers to experience what is happening in both Imogen's and Archer's heads. I found that I could relate to them both really well and understand their journeys as they went through the story laid down for them. The other characters were excellently drawn as well.

Another aspect that I really appreciated with Ms Christensen's writing was that, although she's American, she really captured the feel that I, as an English person, would expect of Victorian England. It was only on the odd occasion that she would slip in a word or turn of phrase that would remind me that I wasn't reading a book by a British author (most notably the use of Ma'am instead of Madam).

I highly recommend Of Moths and Butterflies. It's not a quick read but is well worth the time and effort, and is an experience to be savoured. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms Christensen's work.
