I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt as if I was familiar with the author and the characters, even though this is the first book by Elizabeth Edmondson that I have read. It feels like it was written in the 1950s, when it is set, rather than just last year. I enjoyed the author's use of language. The writing style was very interesting, but at the same time engrossing and easy to follow. I look forward to the next book in this series.
