Summary: THE BEST YET FROM SHIRLEY KENNEDY
Comment: How interesting someone would rate a truly lovely book on two insignifcant errors. I've read all of Shirley Kennedy's books and have loved them all. The last book "Three Wishes" was my favorite. I was too inthralled with the characters and storyline to look for a few paultry flaws, which, by the way, exist in so many books out there these days. It seems editors don't have the time to really edit books anymore, and certainly an author can overlook something they're too close to. I highly recommend this book if you want to get lost in another time and place and fall in love with some beautiful characters. Let's have more from you, Shirley Kennedy.

Summary: Romance and history a winning mix!
Comment: I was surprised to find a reader giving this book one star because of two minor and insignificant "slips" (the age of one child and whether or not an event occurred one or two days prior). Yes, every author and editor should strive for perfection in detail but, more importantly, Ms. Kennedy has striven for and achieved near perfection in her blending of historical fact, intrigue, romance, and a wit seldom seen in romance novels. I note that the reader did not point out any historical slips -- a far greater error in a book of this type. Ms. Kennedy has obviously done her historical homework. At the same time she has given us characters and a story line which set this novel a step above. Kudos!

Summary: Did anybody check this book for accuracy?
Comment: Details!!
When the children are first introduced, they are 9, 7, and 5. Yet when Granville discusses them with Lucy, suddenly they are 8, 6, and 5. Huh? Impossible. Also, Ms. Kennedy gets her days mixed up. At one point early on Granville's sister asks him why he hadn't attended the event "last night," yet if one had paid attention, one would notice that it was actually TWO nights before, as he had to go find Lucy, and be rebuffed, the day in between. These terrible "slips," if not caught by the author herself, ought to definitely not slip past an editor.
