A review by cgreenstein
Madensky Square by Laura Wood, Eva Ibbotson

4.0

Not a fan of the whole mistress thing (Ibbotson's always been pretty liberal about how she treats sex, though, so I wasn't surprised that she never addressed the problems attendant with breaking marriage vows), but other than that this was a beautiful story. Warm, tightly woven without being obvious about the foreshadowed connections, kind and varied characters, beautiful friendships. If she could only have cut out the mistress element (which she couldn't, it's central to the plot, unfortunately), I would absolutely have given this five stars.
