Gertrude Wyndham had come to Providence as a young bride and had somehow fused an ill-knit family together and made the beautiful old house a place of refuge and healing. And then the war came. Her daughter Sybil never returned from France. Defying all convention she went to live with Henri Blanchard, twenty years older than herself.
The Bird of Happiness Reviews
-
I started reading this book and got a third the way through and put it down because I felt it was dragging, so I got bored. I went on to read several other books and then came back to it.
Thats when it actually seemed to get into gear and become interesting.
It was about the Wyndham family and all those attached to it....old story, lovely old manor home in England, elderly owners, manor and estate becoming run down as the heir wanted nothing to do with it....so it became a millstone for the rest of the family.
This book had many twists and turns and although I was a slow starter in reading it, found it to be a really entertaining book in the end.
Good story.
