Note that I got this book and now I own it. This review can also be found on The StoryGraph.
The library I got this from held a giveaway with this book being one of those they were donating because they were too old and few people read them. So, I picked it up and finally read it, but when I finished it, I thought it was only okay and I can understand why the library would remove it (most likely to make room for new ones.) It starts with the first character I see, Emma Freke, or Emma for short, but here's the point: Emma doesn't like her surname.

Like in other novels, the characters missed the mark as I couldn't relate or connect to them. Nothing much happens for the first half but the second one is where the plot thickens as Emma is invited to a family reunion somewhere in America which she attends.
