Reach for this book when your preteen or teenager is grappling with the tension between family expectations and their own emerging identity. Set in the Edwardian era, it follows orphan Christina as she is thrust into the decaying Flambards estate, a world dominated by her tyrannical uncle and his obsession with fox hunting. As Christina navigates a household divided by old-fashioned brutality and the dawn of a modern, technological age, she discovers her own inner strength and a passion for horses. This is a sophisticated coming-of-age story that addresses social class, the cruelty of tradition, and the courage required to choose one's own path. It is ideal for readers aged 12 and up who appreciate historical realism and stories about resilient young women finding their voice in restrictive environments.
