Helpful Score: 1
I really thought I would like this better, based on the reviews. For me, it was such a cliche: woman ends up sharing large house with odds and ends of people who become a "family".
The writing style did not suit me at all. The author "tells a story", explaining to you how each character feels. I prefer writing style that shows you what is going on, and lets you draw your own conclusion.
I thought there was real possibility with the main character. Discovering she could make decisions and please herself after her tyrant husband dies. But instead I found her annoyingly "perfect". Pretty, petite, nice all the time. None of the characters really lived for me.
Everything that happens seems very obvious to me. No real surprises.
