    This is a historical romance novel I'm currently reading. It's about a family of three who travel through time together, which is quite nice. The characters aren't overly idealistic; they live their lives well while also possessing great compassion. Although there's a plot device involving a protagonist with special abilities, it's genuinely not off-putting. It's worth reading. I feel it's more like an ensemble piece; everyone has their own unique characteristics, and the story doesn't just revolve around the female lead!
