¿A young girl discovers a new side of her family after she¿s taken by her aunt. The latest from Kennedy is an enchanting work of historical fiction bolstered by an appealing heroine and well-developed supporting characters. Anne is a sympathetic, likable heroine who always puts the needs of others above her own. The narrative unfolds briskly over a period of several years. Kennedy¿s narrative is further enhanced by period details. A charming work that may appeal to fans of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters.¿ -- Kirkus Reviews.
