Eight Cousins

Rose is 13 when the story begins, and she is certainly a very different kind of girl to modern thirteen year old girls. Rose is still very much a child, she is all goodness and sweetness of course, an orphan thrust into a new world. Rose quickly finds she enjoys the company of her seven boy cousins, they and her adored Uncle Alec are the new focus of her young life. This is a charming, readable little book.
