Flambards in Summer by K.M. Peyton

4.0

After Edge of the Cloud, which focused too much on Will and aeroplanes, Flambards in Summer is back to form. In this pacey story, Christina returns to Flambards as a 21-year-old widower. The place is deserted, with only one horse left, and Christina is isolated and despondent. But events draw Christina out of herself, including the appearance of children, and of an unruly stallion named Pheasant, as well as the return of handsome groom Dick. It's a well-imagined, entertaining narrative, that is strangely believable despite the unexpected events. It's an easy read with unexpected depth, and excellent escapism.
