Title: Great Book
Review: This book follows the interweaving lives of two families. A woman who is escaping the French Revolution runs to her wealthy cousin at Nethergate. The cousin, Rosaleen, is jealous of her and due to the information given by her maid Pratt, she marries her off to an abusive returned soldier. The story follows her to an inn, through murder, into the service of a girls school, and back to Nethergate where Pratt now lives as a painful reminder of her past. The story is facinating in the way that Pulp Fiction is. You really don't know where it is going at first but you can't put it down. I would have given it 5 stars, but Norah Lofts always seems to ruin her own books in the last couple of pages.
