A sweet, enjoyable read. Character-driven rather than plot-driven, so it was a bit slow at times. The characters were delightful, though, and the writing was good. Worth reading at least once.
A modern soap opera aint' got nothing on Crawford. A wayward son who leaves home abruptly, and his mother dies in her grief at his departure. A bank scandal and a rich woman loses everything. A high-and-mighty woman arrives, townspeople are kept from her because they are not good enough, and it is learned that the woman wasn't even rich enough to ever see the queen.
A fabulous picture of small-town England in the mid-1800s.
