It was interesting to do a read-along with Bonnets at Dawn as the book is very much a product of the time. It is also clearly aimed at children so has a slight fairy-tale feeling - orphan whose uncle is her guardian, and the interplay with her multitude of aunts (where they live is called "Aunt Hill" giggle) and her 7 male cousins.
A sweet re-read, though I didn't remember it very strongly.
