Holybourne: The Magic of a Child

A young girl discovers a new side of her family after she’s taken in by her aunt. … The latest from Kennedy is an enchanting work of historical fiction bolstered by an appealing heroine and well-developed supporting characters. The narrative unfolds briskly over a period of several years … Kennedy’s narrative is further enhanced by period details … A charming work that may appeal to fans of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. - Kirkus Reviews A coming-of-age story about a young Victorian-era girl who overcomes life’s adversities with humility and humor. I’ve read all of Kennedy’s books and recommend reading her books twice … there’s always more to what you read than meets the eye. This novel is the author’s favorite, mine too. - Mary Burdick
