Don't be put off by the cheesy cover; this is the great Eva Ibbotson, and she's having fun with the upstairs-downstairs romance novel. Imagine Tolstoy's Natasha time-traveling to 1920s England, then mix in "Cold Comfort Farm." Very funny in some places, and truly romantic in others.

Interesting and romantic
The Novel is a pleasant and historical romance describing in a realistic way the journey of a noble russian Countess who escapes to England, during the bolscevic revolution, with her family and finds herself working as a chamber-maid in a noble household and in which she finds love. Very interesting and well-written. Maria Rennard

rich and romantic
I will freely admit to being a hopelessly optimistic romantic. This and the other three young adult novels by Ibbotson fed right into the niche I'd created in my heart for Edwardian romances. Now, in a less soupy way, this novel was a great deal of fun to read. I greatly enjoyed the play of all the characters off of one another. Oh, sure, some are rather stereotypical, even caricatured, but that's what makes it fun. Ibbotson guides the reader into this time and place with a deft touch, and somehow the extravagances, the drama, the color and spectacle of royal Russia fit themselves into the quiet English countryside. A fabulous modern take on Cinderella.
