Rating: 5 out of 5 quills! ‘The Cavendon Women‘ by Barbara Taylor Bradford
A Review
In preparation for writing this review, I first read Cavendon Hall (a real pleasure) so that I would understand the full dynamic of this family. This story is Downton Abbey on steroids. So if you are a fan of this historic era (WWI & the early 1900’s) you will love both books!
Set in the countryside of Yorkshire, this old, aristocratic family must move with the times or be destroyed. The ‘downstairs’ Swann family has sworn allegiance to the Earl of Mowbray’s family for close to two hundred years and their families have intertwined for centuries.
The Ingham children, now grown, are bright, ambitious and caring. No sitting on their laurels basking in their status for them! They, each in their own way, have made a mark in the world with their hard work and determination to do everything to save the grand, but moldering, Cavendon Hall and their legacy.
These are wonderful characters that Barbara Taylor Bradford has created for her readers. I strongly recommend that you read Cavendon Hall first. While the ‘Women‘ stands alone, you wouldn’t want to miss the rest of the story!
