Review: The Keepsake


The Keepsake
The Keepsake by Sheelagh Kelly

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The dialog is a little stilted and difficult at the beginning but plough on and it gets better. Crossing the divide between the wealthy and the poor, the unlikely match of little rich girl and hotel boot boy continues through the first world war. Henrietta is a surprising heroine; strong-minded and stubborn she does not deviate from her chosen path and is equally praise-worthy and frustrating in turn.

Good social commentary interweaved into a story full of interesting characters with lots going on.
