Review:

I usually start my reviews of Whipple's books with stating that I always enjoy her books and I really do; it's true for this one as well.

I love how Whipple constructs her characters and how much of the story focuses on them, both their outer and inner lives. I always end up really caring for them and I'm always a bit sad to have to leave them behind when I finish the book.

I can't help but compare this book a bit to the other books that I've read by her though and this isn't one of my favorites by her. I think it's a bit too long and there were some things about the story that I didn't quite love, but I did very much enjoy it. It's always comforting to read books by this author, her stories are charming and lovely and she's one of my faves.
