Question

Is this a good idea for a book or not?
I want to write about a book about rich girl who is years old in the s who falls in love with a guy in his mid s. Would this be okay since that was normal back then or will be people see it as creepy?

Answer

Nothing especially creepy about it other than the fact that a man in his mid s who was not married in might have been considered gay. Men tended to marry rather young back then. A year old girl was likely to be betrothed unless she had plans to teach or work in some way. Do some research. Why would such a man be single?Also do a good bit of research about the s. More and more books are being set in the past and more and more publishers are turning them down because their details are just not accurate and ludicrous. brbrTheyre, Their, There Three Different Words.brbrCareful or you may wind up in my next novel. brbrPax C
