Review
This historical novel seems to be selling itself on its similarities to "Downton Abbey." The writing is simple and predictable. The characters are believable but not extraordinary. Although the book describes itself as teen fiction, it is too immature in writing style and content for an older teen audience. Maybe I would recommend this novel to a middle school student that enjoys historical fiction.
Overall Book Score: fair
