The Four Graces
The Four Graces | D.E. Stevenson
2 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
No Matter What Life Throws at Them, the Grace Sisters Always Have Each Other The four Grace sisters-Liz, Sal, Tilly, and Addie-love their quiet life in the country village of Chevis Green. To some, their insular world might seem dull, but the sisters and their father, Mr. Grace, never seem to run out of conversation, jokes, and pleasant ways to pass the time together. They truly are the happiest of families. That is, until Aunt Rona comes to town. Rona intends to stay with the Graces indefinitely, and her superior, meddlesome attitude immediately sets the sisters' teeth on edge. Throw in another unexpected houseguest, some potential suitors, and a case of mistaken intentions, and the members of the Grace family suddenly find themselves quite out of their element. Will they manage to make it through the summer and return to their quiet ways? Or will their close-knit family change forever? The Four Graces is another heartwarming tale from D.E. Stevenson, beloved author of Miss Buncle's Book Readers Love The Four Graces: "Reading D.E. Stevenson is simultaneously profoundly entertaining and heart-wrenching."

I have yet to pick up a D.E. Stevenson book that I haven't liked and this is no exception. A slice of life in the countryside of England during the war years. Perfectly enjoyable. I'm glad this was book 9 of my #24in48 challenge.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great quote! And so true! 8y

Up next: book 9 for #24in48 - taking a break from graphic novels for this hopefully lighthearted novel by an author I'm already a fan of (thanks to Persephone Books).

LitHousewife I've wondered if those books were good. I've always admired the covers. 8y
Eyelit @LitHousewife this book is actually loosely tied to 3 others (miss buncle series) - I've read those and they are a delight. I don't think the covers are a fair representation of the books, but they are definitely enticing 😃 8y
quietjenn Aw, I love D.E. Stevenson, esp. the Buncle books. 8y
