I found the Flambards book more interesting than expected. It is set in the age where cars are just been invented and planes are still being perfected. The novel is particularly about a girl that is growing up and when she reaches twenty one she will be able to claim the fortune her parents left her. When she is sent to the Flambards she discovers a passion for horses as the family there are obsessed with horses and hunting. However the youngest of the two sons longs to fly planes and other mechanical devices and he will do anything to reach that dream. The girl undergoes exciting adventures and different loves during her time at the Flambards.
