I enjoyed the story but I found that the narrator's voice grated on me a bit. She didn't pause enough between the end of one sentence and the beginning of another and her voice was like that of a child.

Good if you like gangster stories
Reviewed: 21-06-22
A good story but it is very focussed on gangsters which is exciting for some but not for me. I hoped it would also explore other aspects of life in the 1960s.

Story
When Evangeline is sent to live in a small mill town in Northern England as a schoolteacher in 1871, she finds herself struggling to fit in with an unfamiliar culture. Raised with the high-class Victorian values and ideals of a sophisticated upbringing, she is unprepared for the poverty she finds in the gritty factory town of Smeatley, where the locals speak with a hard-to-understand Yorkshire accent and struggle to thrive with few resources or opportunities. Though she has no training as a teacher, she must prove herself successful before her grandfather will release her inheritance.
