I took this to Durham with me because I thougt it would be an engrossing story, easy to read on trains, in hotel rooms, etc - and I was right. This was a well written, light, fairly compelling, very readable story (though I wouldn't call it a mystery, as it seemed fairly obvious what much of the secret was) about a young girl found abandoned as a baby in the snow and taking in, reluctantly, by the local Big House - though mainly it's the story of her subsequent friendship with Aurelia, the daughter of the house, and her journey to find out about herself and her friend after Aurelia's death. Nothing earth shattering, but a good story.
