This was my bookgroup read for January, and I probably wouldn’t have read it otherwise. I found the first part of the book, about the second wife of the lord of the manor and the children growing up to be a bit tedious (I did like the story of the romance with the first wife). I found the characters very posh and quite annoying.
My interest picked up though later in the book during war time with people working undercover in France as well as the sister who stayed home and worked the land. Not my favourite of the book group books and we didn’t really chat that much about it.
