The House at the End of Hope Street by Menna van Praag



This is the story of a magical place to escape to when real life gets to be a bit too much set in Cambridge. I didn’t LOVE it, but I enjoyed it.

Good points: 

The story was whimsical and fun.
I enjoyed the references to the literary greats in the book as well as other famous women in history and I want to go and read some of the other novels referenced in the book such as Rebecca. Middlemarch and A Room with a view.

Bad points:
Plot development was rather slow.
The narrative was sometimes confusing by the constant changing point of view.
It was predictable - unfortunately too cheesy and perfect.
