I read this some years back and liked it. Needing something to tide me over I picked it up and was just going to sort of skim over some parts. I ended up properly re-reading and enjoying it. If you like a story set in this turbulent English time, you'll enjoy this book. I like very much the total lack of 'cussing' and insidious sex innuendo etc. so often found in books these days. Great read, great story. I am glad I got stuck into it again.

Ellanor's Exchange is my 2nd favorite book (my 1st is Paint the Wind)it is an amazing book it's full of action, close get-a-ways, and it keeps you wondering who she will marry. It was so good I read half of it in 2 hours. I couldn't put it down. I am 11 years old and a frequent reader. This is one of the best book i have ever, and will probably ever read!!!! P.S. at times its bittersweet.
