Such beautiful writing. I loved this story and all it's characters. I didn't want it to end.

“There’s a greenhouse with ferns taller than a person. We pretended lions and tigers were hiding behind them, didn’t we, girls?”

"On the other bank a wren bobbed along a branch. Flora had always claimed the small brown birds, with their jaunty tails, brought good luck."

What took me so long to read another Margot Livesey book?! I've read The Flight of Gemma Hardy multiple times (wonderful Jane Eyre retelling) but nothing else by her. Must correct that this year.

"At Hogmanay, she and her grandmother cleaned the house from top to bottom, sweeping out the old year to make room for the new."

"Now her daydreams scattered in the evening air, tiny as gnats, flimsy as dandelion seeds."
