Used book – The Seagrave Family, Joanna Quinn, Christel Gaillard-Paris

Young orphan heroes forge their own destiny.

Cristabel Seagrave always wanted to be a heroine in a novel, but there are no girls in the books that fill her family's dusty library. An unwanted orphan and future

dowry-less woman, she has no place in a traditional English manor.

While her in-laws happily spend endless evenings among their guests, Cristabel, her sister Flossie, and her brother Digby educate themselves by performing plays in the freezing attic. But war is approaching and will disrupt their lives.

Increasingly involved in the world conflict, the Seagrave children are no longer content with the roles assigned to them, and may finally become the heroes of their own lives...

"A captivating coming-of-age and resilience novel compiling the best of classic British literature." Madame Figaro "An English family and historical saga, a seaside residence, characters who take their destiny into their own hands... Captivating."
