The concept and theme of this book are interesting as well as the historical setting. I love stories with lighthouses and a big cast of characters because they may promise more volumes. It's a lot of open opportunities to explore each one and their predicaments. They are all so energetic, frontal (honest), and trying to work together. I do hope there will be more.
Only almost at the end, I understood the main reason for her obsession with finding the necklace and it gave more depth.
Our main character is a young girl who just lost her family and is not trying to find her place in a new with many sisters and brothers. She has a terrible fear and is a bit clumsy when she daydreams too much, but throughout the book she learns, thrives, and grows a lot. Took me a bit to understand the direction and intentions of the author with some actions and by being plot-driven it makes the events too sudden and convenient. But if this is an introduction to a series, then it introduces well the mood and the family vibe for future adventures (I hope so).
I love languages and learning new words, it was great to have some Obijwe and French too with a glossary at the end. Perfect for readers of historical fiction and Anne Shirley.
