I really liked this, especially since I've not really read any books dealing with the suffragette movement. I would have given it four stars, but I have SERIOUS ISSUES with Leah deciding Hester's baby was Robin Durrant's because it's unlikely two blue eyed people can have a brown eyed baby, and because she saw a black and white photo of Bertie and Hester she's decided that the baby was Durrant's. That did my head in.

Genetics aside, what's with her ex-boyfriend sleeping with his step-sister? That was the most unexpectedly random thing I've seen in a book in ages, and I'm not sure what it served. It just seemed thrown in at the last minute?

Like I said, I did enjoy it. But these two points me lose my temper and the book rating lose one star.
