About this title

Review

"An absorbing family drama - "the Little Women of our times." * "The family relationships are convincingly portrayed with considerable insight. Her descriptions of the countryside, flowers and scenery and of emotions are vivid, but her real strengths lie in characterisation." School Librarian. * "The Little Women of our times." The Times * "A family saga to enthral." The Times Literary Supplement * "Vivid... Memorable." The Guardian
