Very sweet!

Clean, honest, very sweet, well written story. I felt the characters who were each unique and had an integral part to the story.

Love the the story

Really like the narrators voice and that the story stayed on track and was entertaining

The extensive use of perfect descriptive wording of the English language …

I found the book to be slow .!!!! And uneventful .
Clara is a sweet child of the early 1920’s needing employment

Who is this book for? Adults or YA?

I read this because I saw reviews comparing it to Downton Abbey. This was no Downton Abbey!
I could not tell if this book was directed toward adult or YA readers. It felt like it was for a YA audience, and if that is the case, I take exception to a book that celebrates preteens and teens running the household so their father can continue to drink himself to ruin. The writing is as though the author was practicing similes and writing as many as possible.
The performances were overly dramatic and the men’s voices sounded like they were coming from an echo chamber.
I gave two stars just because I cared enough about the characters to finish the book.

Disappointed

It would be great for a kid in middle school. It was my fault for not researching it more.

Saccharin

Unbelievable dialogue from older sister. Simplistic attitude towards alcohol abuse. Very Disappointing - comparing this story to Downton Abbey is not accurate.
