pixiegael 's review for:

Mrs England by Stacey Halls
2.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Really can't think of anything nice to say about this. It was dull. The narrator was irritatingly prim. I kept waiting for something to happen, but even when it did, I didn't believe it. 

Why did she take her hairbrush with her when she went out into the woods in the middle of the night, leaving the children home alone, to look for Mrs England? That's just silly.
