I think calling this book a “Downton Abbey-style saga” does it a bit of a disservice. Whilst I like Downton this is a far more subtle novel. Whilst I didn't find it a page turner, I did feel a sense of satisfaction having read it and it reminded me a little of “Atonement”. Good characters, I liked the writing style and it seemed well researched, as you would expect from a historian.
