I really enjoyed this book -- an easy read with well-drawn characters and a setting so well described that it was easy to envision everything that was taking place. A teenage English girl grows up in a large country manor and struggles with the loss of her father, as well as typical teenage issues -- love, parents, what to wear, adolescent crushes -- before finally learning what she really values in life, all while the events of the 1950s take place around her. The story feels light and the main characters are easy to love. Highly recommended.
