My Review Of

The Bannister Girls by Jean Saunders

This book had a bit of Downton Abbey feel to it, three privileged  sisters, the start of World War I, one sister a bit of a rebel for human rights, one sister a hopeless romantic and one who tries to do everything just the way that it is expected of her. I love this time period and the setting seemed very nice. The story was one of romance and heartbreak and while I found this to be very well written it dragged a bit for me in most places. Angela, the romantic was my favorite of the sisters, her story line was a bit scandalous for the times which I found exciting and Jacques her love interest seemed quite swoon worthy. As for the  other characters in the book, I had a hard time connecting with them. I still enjoyed the overall story line and find this era and setting fascinating.
