Another excellent read from Margaret Dickinson, couldnt put it down once I started it, good job I have an understanding family. Very strong characters especially shown by Charlotte, the unwanted daughter of Osbert Crawford and the loyalty she shows him despite him being so narrow minded and selfish that he just sees it as her duty to work for no reward. He should have been proud to have helped produce such an intelligent, hard working, caring daughter, never mind his wanting a son.
I hope there is another book about the characters in this one as to me I felt there were questions left unanswered in the end, like what happened to Jennie and many others, did she come back in later years. I wont put the other questions I have as it would spoil the stofry for others.
