This is certainly another excellent story from this very talented author.
I love reading her books as there are always many unexpected twists and turns to the story line to delight my imagination and make me wonder just what is going to happen next.
This story of Nessie Carson and her family is certainly full of one crisis after another.
The years covered are 1863 - 1870 which were always a very challenging time for the ordinary folk while the rich lived a life of luxury. The author really helps us
to understand the difference between the two classes.
There is also a lot of information on how funerals were arranged back in those days which is revealing.
At the very end of the book there is a recipe for a roast goose and a letter from the author which make interesting reading.
