This book could easily withstand a 300 page edit and the thin plot would still hold up. What a disappointment! Trite, immature characters and the suggestion of serious child neglect blithely 'fixed' by having the damaged children adopted by cousins. Lots of 'charming' English description of the Lake District which, I suppose, entertains an untraveled insular audience but this is pages of off-putting and useless filler for a cosmopolitan reader. The author is losing her touch. Maybe she should quit writing while she still has a reputation to uphold.
