Title: Ensemble Story Entertains
Review: This is my first novel of Ms. Lansdowne's, and it has whetted my appetite for more. She has woven a large ensemble cast of characters for her story of adventure, friendship, and romance. Apart from the villain who drives the story, most of the characters change and mature as the result of their experiences.There is a very untypical English equalitarian disregard of class and appearances which, while it suits the storyline, required me to suspend my disbelief in order to fully appreciate the many qualities of this ensemble story. My other difficulty was that in addition to there being a large number of characters to keep up with, some characters were referred to by multiple names. For example Legion was also Joshie, the Earl of Wright, Jocelyn, and Josh. This is a small quibble. I really enjoyed the story.
