A few introductory words about the former two: one thing I love about Bliss and Dance is that they feature a historical setting that doesn't often make its way into romance. In thinking about Ivory as a stylist, I'll be focusing mainly on Bliss, Dance, and Black Silk-in part because these are the novels I happen to have at hand. ![]() ![]() Suddenly, being herself has never been more important.
