Blue Waltz

This is the first book I've read by this author. It won't be the last. It contains the most original heroine I've read since Judy Cuevas. Belle appears on the social scene in Victorian Boston with a lot of money and very little known about her past. She's a recluse who seems to be living in a dreamworld set in the past. Her presence in the upper-class Boston neighborhood changes the lives of everyone living there. But they can't tell, is she merely eccentric, or truly mad? Her neighbor Stephen finds that much to his dismay, she's a mystery he can't get out of his mind. As more and more details about her unfold, Stephen finds more about his own character being revealed as well. A wonderful book!
