Yours from the Tower

My ten year old daughter loves historical fiction but this was her first time delving into British historical fiction, she loved this book. It took her a little while to get used to the structure ( the entire book is written in the form of letters) but once she did, she was hooked. She has already reread the book. We have had vast discussions on taking part in a Season, on clothes and how different life was at the close of the 19th century. She really loved the characters, Polly especially and how different the three girls lives were. A huge thumbs her from her, five stars and while I didn't read it myself, I adore the cover and I loved how this book engaged my daughter and prompted her to look up so much from the time.
She would recommend from her age and up 10 plus and she tells me she is going to buy a copy for her older sister when the book is released

Absolutely amazing. I was worried about the format - I often have difficulty telling characters apart, how was I going to do when they're all writing letters with no narration? But it turned out to be really easy. This was a great read that really evokes a very specific time in England, as Sally is so skilled at.

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in that period, or in girls standing up for other girls. And look at that gorgeous cover! So lovely.
