I have mixed feelings about this book. It was an interesting story about a young Jewish girl leaving Vienna and her prominent family to escape the Nazis by going to England as a maid. She was waiting for her parents to get a Visa to America where her sister was and send for her to reunite the family. In the meanwhile, the war started and she got to love Tyneford House and fell in love with the master's son.

The book was so slow at times, it got boring and I felt myself skimming a lot. The ending was predictable, but fulfilling and in spite of the negatives, I enjoyed it.
