This was my first Eileen Goudge book, and I think the general premise and story is pretty good.I also liked most of the main characters, but I also got frustrated with the repetition and indecisiveness of those characters.I believe this could have been an equally good, or better, book and been two-thirds as long.(I do hestitate to say something like that because I have great respect for writers' autonomy and integrity.) Eileen Goudge is particularly good at descriptions--her house and garden descriptions here are wonderful.Her character development of Cordelia Truscott is also excellent.Cordelia is ultimately the strongest and bravest character in this book, and it is fitting that it ends with her.
