review 1: This is the second book in the trilogy and the Hedleigh/Dilberne aristocratic family. As with the first, I had a hard time liking the characters because most of the were just cold and rude when dealing with society. I did warm up a little to Lady Isobel, the Countess of Dilberne, only because she seemed lost while the world changed around her. I missed the point of view of the "downstairs" that was so prevalent in the first book. I suppose the storyline of Ivy and her fall into providing charlatan seances took over this role.
review 2: Ah! How refreshing. This a light and rather happy read. It's the second within a trilogy but you don't HAVE to read the first prior to this. The book gives bits and pieces of the background so you're never lost. The pace is n... moreeither slow nor rushed. I read the book in practically a day or so. I thoroughly enjoyed it as it was rather easy going and quick. The story itself I suppose is average? I say that because nothing jaw dropping occurs. It's a story of a family in the early 1900's who are in the upper echelon of society. I would recommend this book to someone looking for a historical fiction story focused on England, early 1900's, and the tribulations of family life. Good beach read now that I come to think of it!! less
