The tale of Flora Poste and her cousins the Starkadders set in the near future of the 1940s or 1950s as envisioned in the 1930s has something for everyone. The character study of the calm Flora who just wants everything tidy versus the emotional Starkadders for whom everything is intensely dramatic lends itself both to comical passages and meaningful insights. The slapstick scenes featuring most of or the entire family are pleasantly witty, and the setting is a wonderful alternate world to get lost in. If any of those sound at all appealing to you, you will definitely enjoy this book.
