They might not be my favourite couple in the series, but they do have my favourite story. It’s sweet, a little tragic and touches upon issues that many couples are forced to face.
This is a great way to round out the story of Francesca and Michael. Yet, when they finally start to create their own, it’s also the happier, more joyful experience…. So it kind of makes sense that even having children is far more difficult for them than anyone else in the family. When he returns four years later to take over the title, he realizes that his feelings for Francesca have not gone away. Of all the Bridgerton tales, they have the hardest, most tragic journey to travel. The Second Epilogue fixed this oversight in an incredibly powerful and meaningful manner.Īlthough it wasn’t quite the way I expected it, both Francesca and Michael do get a happily ever after in this story. Instead, it is a tale of redemption and second chances that allows the characters to grow and change when life’s tragedies strike at them all. Since When He Was Wicked not only started with Francesca having a miscarriage, but also her need to start her own family was a major driver, I was a bit put out when there wasn’t much discussion as to this aspect of hers and Michael’s future at the end of the novel. When He Was Wicked is a dark and often depressing tale, and it is only Quinn’s considerable writing skill that saves it from being totally morose. Not in real life, not in the media, not in books. I’ve never really thought that infertility and the difficulties of getting pregnant are talked about often enough.
