    The Charm School
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013*

Isadora Peabody is the black sheep of her family.  Dark while all the others are fair, and suffering from extreme shyness, she has never felt quite at home in 1851 Boston with her high society parents, brothers, and sisters.  Ryan Calhoun has just returned to Boston after a very successful run as Captain of the Silver Swan.  He's enjoying his rewards from the journey when Isadora shows up with his mother and somehow works her way onto the crew for the upcoming sailing to Rio.  Despite their outward differences, the two begin to realize that they have similarities and a spark begins to develop.  Whether or not Ryan can coax Isadora from her strict dress and code of conduct is the question that holds the key to their possible romance.This was the first of Susan Wiggs' books that I have read and it was pleasant reading, but not overly engrossing.  I enjoyed the settings of Boston, the Ship, and Rio.  Rio was especially well described and was my favorite part of the book.  The storyline was fairly obvious but still interesting and I really liked Ryan Calhoun as the male lead character.  I found Isadora a bit lacking in personality and too unbelievably naive about life.  Recommended as a light read; good for the beach or a lazy weekend.

    How can a misfit young woman overcome society’s restriction
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019*

I am not usually a fan of 17th century English society with its restrictions and rigid rules.  Despite being set in Boston, the attitudes were those of British society..  While I enjoyed the first chapters of this book, the later chapters were too repetitive and restrictive.  I almost did not finish the book and never regained my earlier enjoyment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Entertaining
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021*

I enjoyed the characters in this book and the storyline. I especially liked Isadora finding herself and what was important in life. I gave it 4* because some of the scene setting in Rio was too wordy/descriptive for me. Just get to the story. I did not need so much jungle description.
