An enjoyable and satisfying sequel to Amberwell.
Having read ‘Amberwell’ I moved right on to ‘Summerhills’. By now I was invested in the characters and wanted to see what happened to them. Again, the plot was a bit contrived or forced but subtly so. Not enough to annoy me so that I would stop reading.
Another good ‘read before bedtime’ book.
