1906
Lady Elizabeth “Libby” Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn’t favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles into the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage’s former occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished.
Oliver Tremayne–gentleman and clergyman–is determined to discover what happened to his sister, and he’s happy to accept the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth’s summer cottage . . . especially when he realizes it’s the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can’t quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.
As Libby and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.

Summary
The Nature of a Lady by Susanna White was another great read. I thoroughly enjoy how she makes her characters different and quirky. Libby has a love for nature that makes her not fit in. I enjoyed that her family loved her and wanted to protect her in their own way. Some of my favorite scenes where with her and Oliver’s grandma. Don’t you want to feel that the place knows your name?
Oliver was so accepting of her quirks and they seemed perfect for each other. Oliver is trying to find his sister and realizes that Libby has been mistaken for her.
White has a unique ability to draw you into the story and care about the characters.
My favorite part of the book was when the author shared that their would be more books about the characters and how she came about the story.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
