This book is a YA novel about Brigitta, a 15 year old Jewish orphan who has been brought to London by the Red Cross to be find a new life. She has only just stepped on UK soil when she breaks away from the Red Cross group and follows her dead mother's directions to a house called Summerland so that she can find out the connection between her parents and this British mansion. Once there, she gets sucked into village life and starts to wonder what she wants and who she really is. I thought some aspects of the story were quite far fetched but overall I really enjoyed it and couldn't wait to see what happened next and how it all ended. And it ended with a great twist which I did not see coming. There were also some great secondary characters that I wanted to know more about, I'm hoping the author might have a follow-on story up her sleeve!
