Add a CommentAmazing book. Well written through to the end. Talented writer.
Very easy reading and quite pleasant although Gemma watching over 2 kids in the same story tends to make it seem as if the author didn't know how to make the story longer. The first half was brilliant whereas the second half of the book was like back to reading a Mills & Boon
gemma's story of her childhood with her kind uncle and his awful wife who treated her badly and sent her to Claypoole, a school where she was an unpaid servant. .........
"In her latest novel, Margot Livesey modernizes Jane Eyre, lifting the narrative into the mid-20th century and setting it in Iceland and Scotland." Candace Fertile Globe & Mail
