About this book

Cary has returned from her grandmother’s comfortable Carlisle household to Brocklebank Fells, where Aunt Kezia expects the four sisters to help with the work. Sophy, Fanny and outspoken Hatty each respond differently to family expectations. Through Cary’s first-person observations, everyday arguments about manners, marriage and household duties reveal competing ideas of what makes a person respectable.

Emily Sarah Holt sets this historical novel for young readers against the Jacobite rising of 1745 and 1746. In London society, Cary notices how quickly a distinguished family name can change someone’s reception. Warm welcomes and polished manners come under her scrutiny, while the book’s Christian concerns connect questions of conduct with the choices its characters face.
