4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, April 12 2002
By Mark Grinstein-Camacho (Greater Boston, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Song for Summer (Hardcover)
I am an avid fan of Eva Ibbotson's children's books, whose descriptions are in between JK Rowlings's and Edith Nesbitt's. This book was slightly less enchanting as her children's fantasies, but there was still that wonderful rich description. I do have to argue against the reviewer who said that few could match her warm, lyrical style; Jane Austen's and Charlotte Bronte's comes close. The plot is a fairly straightforward tale of a young woman who goes to work at a boarding school, so it isn't the most gripping tale, but it's still a wonderful beautiful story. Read it if you love Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre, or Ms. Ibbotson's fantasy books, or if you love the English language, or just spend a sophisticated, enjoyable few hours with a great book. Email me if you want more info or have a specific question.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance and Excitement, April 22 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Song for Summer (Hardcover)
This is the first Ibbotson book I had read and it ties with A Countess Below Stairs as my favorite. The author creates such memorable characters that you can't help wanting the story to go on forever. I loaned this book to a friend and we laugh over the characters like Andromeda, the self regulating baby. I could not put it down. I love to tell my friends about Ibbotson, but it seems like all her books are out of print so you have to get them at libraries. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story mixed with a little romance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I thought, April 24 2000
By Guadalupe G Narbaitz (Capital Federal, Buenos Aires Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Song for Summer (Hardcover)
Ive read Countess Below Stairs a hundred times and it's one of my favourite books ever, so when I bought this one I thought it would be as good as that one. But it wasnt. It was kind of boring. I enjoyed, it was good to spend the time, but it was not so great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from Ibbotson!
If you haven't discovered Eva Ibbotson, give her a try now. For sheer warm, lyrical beauty, I think there are few authors who can match her. Every sentence is a gem. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Found Ibbotson by accident, loved her immediately. The descriptions are amazing, not to mention the odd combination of characters from every walk of life...you'll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, enchanting characters, ending a little odd.
Classic light romance. As usual, Ibbotson's characters are quirky and charming. All her heroines are similar to Anne of Green Gables in their imaginative appreciation of what most... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Review - A song for Summer
The author uses language wonderfully, evoking a real sense of that period in time and place (Austria, 1930s). Read more
