This was the third book in the Flambards trilogy, although there was a fourth book that was originally unplanned, Flambards Divided, that came afterwards, that I have yet to read. In this book, Christina is back at the Flambards estate after William, whom she married, is killed in WWI. A lot of commentary about the class hierarchy in England is inherent in this story. The changes in the Christina's life and the lives of those connected to the Flambards estate reflect the great changes that were going on in society in the early 20th century, and the way England was so negatively affected by WWI. A very interesting novel indeed. You will soon see reviews on books on the writings of St John Chrysostom and a biography of St Pope John XXIII, both of which I am finishing up. I am enjoying both of them very much.
