Horse Fever? Downton Abbey fan? Yes, this might be the book for you. Flambards is a book that is filled with horses and saddles and riding and hunting and other Horse Words that escape me at the moment. Trust me on this. Drink this book in and youll get your horse love quota for the year.

Really loved it. Can't explain why. The plot was nothing exciting, I guess, but I loved the way it was written. The descriptions were so evocative and the characters were fascinating and complex.

Now she is sent to live with her uncle Russell and his two sons in their decaying mansion, Flambards.    Her uncle is a fierce



The books are even better than the series, and I loved the series!

I really expected this to be rather boring, but it was not. I enjoyed it immensly. The first few pages took me a little bit to get into the writing style, but once I did I was hooked. Christina moves to Flambards to live with her uncle, Russell, and cousins, Mark and William. Little does she expect the kind of people she will meet there. Uncle Russell, impassioned with his love for hunting, wants both his sons to love it just as equally. Mark takes after Russell, but William has dreams of his
