From amazon "Freda Haxby is as famous for her writing as she is for her eccentricities. But for Daniel Palmer, Rosemary, Grace and their families, she is a monster mother. This is the story of an end-of-the-century family whose comfortable lives are disrupted by a succession of sinister events. "

Thank you for passing this on to me. I've enjoyed The Seven Sisters recently, this looks good too.

Read while on the Amtrak train between NY and Boston. It's a well observed and written, I really loved Frieda, the character reminded me of the Warning poem by Jenny Joseph 'When I am an old woman I shall wear purple'.

This is not a cheering book on the whole it's a rather sombre read, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Taking to my second bookcrossing meeting on my return to Boston from NY. :-D
