Of Noble Family

A satisfying yet difficult ending to the series. One thing I've always enjoyed about Jane is that she blunders and then learns. On Lord Verbury's plantation in Antigua she at first divides her time between being the well-intentioned but wholly ignorant white savior and the white woman totally unaware of her complicity in oppressing people. But she learns, she apologizes, she makes amends through her actions.

I'll miss this series, with its Doctor Who mentions (and, yes, her first name was most absolutely Martha) and its way of making tiny personal issues seem world-shattering (because, of course they are to those experiencing them).
