Customer Review #1:
 Very nice
I am an avid fan of Eva Ibbotsons childrens books, whose descriptions are in between JK Rowlingss and Edith Nesbitts. This book was slightly less enchanting as her childrens fantasies, but there was still that wonderful rich description. I do have to argue against the reviewer who said that few could match her warm, lyrical style; Jane Austens and Charlotte Brontes comes close. The plot is a fairly straightforward tale of a young woman who goes to work at a boarding school, so it isnt the most gripping tale, but its still a wonderful beautiful story. Read it if you love Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre, or Ms. Ibbotsons fantasy books, or if you love the English language, or just spend a sophisticated, enjoyable few hours with a great book. Email me if you want more info or have a specific question.

Customer Review #2:
 Romance and Excitement
This is the first Ibbotson book I had read and it ties with A Countess Below Stairs as my favorite. The author creates such memorable characters that you cant help wanting the story to go on forever. I loaned this book to a friend and we laugh over the characters like Andromeda, the self regulating baby. I could not put it down. I love to tell my friends about Ibbotson, but it seems like all her books are out of print so you have to get them at libraries. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story mixed with a little romance.

 Not as good as I thought
Ive read Countess Below Stairs a hundred times and its one of my favourite books ever, so when I bought this one I thought it would be as good as that one. But it wasnt. It was kind of boring. I enjoyed, it was good to spend the time, but it was not so great.
