Negaliu kitaip pradėt apžvalgos - knygos viršelis!!! Užburiantis! Jau vien į jį pažvelgus noris imt ir skaityt. O visas gėris tame, kad ne tik viršelis čia geras - pagi knyga dar puikesnė. Nu nuoširdžiai nesitikėjau, kad romanas apie šeimos paslaptis ir dar dviejų laikų istorija mane taip sužavės. Bet sužavėjo ir turėjau nuos tą bų laiką su knyga. Man, when I saw the premise of this book, I thought it was for me: orchids, Scotland, plant hunting, women in the early 20th century.

The poor energy efficiency of the Glass House has been widely discussed. [24] Tours and visitor center [ edit ] Visitor center in downtown New CanaanThe early chapters were perfect, but as time went on I worried that two serious incidents in the story set in the past would be difficult to resolve. The plot, beautifully constructed though it was, took the lustre from the characters and the relationships. They needed space to shine, but they were weighed down and stretched too far by an excess of story.

The Daughters of Foxcote Manor is a fascinating mystery/family drama about a foundling, the family who takes her in, and the nanny who knows all of their secrets. The characters are very well created and many are very likeable especially Rita and Robbie who Rita meets when she lives at Foxcote in 1971. Robbie is a lovely kind man who helps Rita to heal and cast off a trauma from childhood. Rita is the lynch pin at Foxcote and throughthe book as none of the Harrington family function well without her and nor do her immediate family. The Forest provides a wonderfully atmospheric setting as it is also pivotal to the story which is shown in the clever use of descriptive language that makes it come alive. The Forest is part of the body and soul of Robbie and Sylvie and I find that fascinating. Sylvie's and Annie’s story are also really interesting and I enjoyed how their stories fit well into past events at Foxcote. I thought for sure that we would get at least one shout-out, but no. Not a one. Hell, even those murderous Campbells didn't come into play.Sixteen-year-old Ruby Baker and her eleven-year-old brother Rhett lose their parents, David and Grace, in a car accident.
