The bad guys are usually horrible but never really truly evil. Everyone gets their happy ending.That is what you get with Eva Ibbotson. She does it in the more forgiveable way. Each of her books are layered with cultural tit-bits, mostly musical. Many of her YA stories usually
Eva Ibbotson wrote five books for adults (or young adults) that clearly fit together -- A Countess Below Stairs, The Reluctant Heiress, A Company of Swans, The Morning Gift, and A Song for Summer. I was strongly considering giving one of them 5 stars in order to make certain that anyone who follows my reviews discovers just how special I think Ms. Ibbotson's writing is, but I couldn't decide which. It wouldn't be right to give all of them 5 stars, because that would double my total count of 5
