Have I read this before: Nope! This is a newer addition to the book list. 

Review: After I finish a book, I always like to look up reviews on Goodreads because I like to see what other people thought of it. In this case, there were a lot of reviews that mentioned the book was way too “England specific” and required you to be able to place yourself in a very specific time period in a very specific place and that being unable to do so detracted from the story. I disagree. My disagreement comes in part from the fact that like 70% of the books on my list are set in [insert someplace in England] and focus on [insert anachronistic English Society issue that most modern readers will never have to deal with] and so I’m kind of used to that. This book, however, feels quite universal in terms of the issues it tackles. Family vs. family, poverty vs. wealth, class vs. class, etc. It doesn’t have to be set where it’s set to be relatable. I enjoyed it for that.

Rating: 5/10
