Jane Austen meets World War 1. So good. Just completely readable and wonderful. Newly orphaned Beatrice arrives in Suffolk on the brink of World War 1, hired to teach Latin at the local school, despite the moral qualms of the locals about having a woman (gasp!) in the classroom. Helen Simonson’s first book was Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand. This is her sophomore effort — keep writing, Helen!!
