Apricot Sky by Ruby Ferguson

4.0

This was a bit of a slow starter for me, although that is probably all on me and the circumstances of my reading. Once I was able to sink into it, it was pretty endearing and I very much enjoyed spending time with this family over their pivotal summer. No big dramatics, no surprises. Just entirely pleasant people going about their lives, kids having low-key Ransome-ish adventures, the right people falling and/or being delightfully in love, and the annoying characters being humorously tolerated by the more sympathetic characters who are just as annoyed with them as the reader is. Bonus points for so skillfully evoking the Scottish setting.
