Summary
Alice and Lilian live in a house full of oddities collected by their eccentric father. After Lilian is married off to a missionary man who chooses to work in India, Alice is left alone to care for her elderly aunts, her father and his Collection. But the sisters desperately miss each other and, on their own, devise a plan to be reunited.
Critique
Unconventional characters, complex motivations, and a smidge of whimsy make this trip to the past so very memorable. Highly recommended read.
