So I honestly don't remember much about the book other than there were two sisters who lived in this big mansion with their mother and I THINK an evil uncle. The uncle was obsessed with historical artifacts and stuff and there was something about a big tree in their conservatory. I DO remember it ended with the one sister giving up on a guy and flying away in some crazy contraption with her sister.

When did you read this? Was the book new or old? Do you remember what the cover looked like? Children's book, middle-grade, YA, Adult?
Young adult probably? was maybe ~10 years ago or so
Allie, what genre did this book fall under? Sci-fi, fantasy, something else?What time period was the story set?
If scifi/fantasy, what other scifi/fantasy elements were in it? Witches, aliens, space travel, etc?
I think it was more just young adult. It was approximately around the time of WWI or before.
just upping this if anyone knows....More info: The tree was some kind of orange tree or something and they had some way to move the tree from room to room. The uncle had a bunch of archaeologist friends who came to stay and one of them was a photographer who set up a tent somewhere.
yes, I do believe that is it! woohoo! thanks so much, kathy!!!
