I enjoyed this one, because I’m so glad the main characters are back in Mitford. There are a few new characters and some excitement brewing in different families.

I just love the kids in this series, who needed someone responsible to step into their lives and “man up” (or “woman up” as the case may be ). It’s gratifying to see good things happen to kids who got stuck in bad si ...more

This made getting into the story longer than normal. In spite of that, it turns into a great read for fans of the series. I did not like how the reader of the audio version voiced Puny--he made her so dumb! I read all

I really loved this book in the Mitford Years series; I did the audiobook and have to say that I think its narrator is superb--one of the best around. He does such an excellent job with the various voices, really giving one a sense of the different characters' personalities.
