From Library Journal

Ellen, the lovely heroine of this romantic novel, is raised in London by a suffragist mother and aunts but rejects the liberated life. After graduating from a culinary school, she takes a job in Austria at a run-down boarding school for neglected rich children and transforms it with her beauty, hard work, and good cooking. Like Ellen, all the characters are pleasantly drawn if exaggerated stereotypes: Ellen's love interest, Marek, the school handyman, is really a brilliant composer hiding out from the Nazis; the scullery maid is beautiful and saintly; and all the children are budding geniuses. When the war intervenes, Ellen returns to England to build a sanctuary for her friends and other refugees; eventually she and Marek are reunited, and love conquers all. Ibbotson, who grew up in Austria and fled the Nazis herself, provides rich details of prewar life in Vienna and the alpine countryside. Her prose is like a Linzertorte?well constructed but awfully sweet. Still, this is a lively read. Recommended for popular fiction collections.?Reba Leiding, Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst.

From AudioFile

When Englishwoman Ellen Call assumes the housekeeper position at a unique private school in Austria in 1937, she has no idea what she will encounter. She embarks on her adventure, determined that every child there have what he or she needs to be happy and to succeed. Ellen succeeds in winning the hearts of everyone around her, including the young man who is posing as a grounds keeper in order to hide his true identity and rescue his friends from the Nazis. Narrator Sophie Ward conveys with precision the gentle humor and poignant events of this WWII romance novel. Her portrayal of the many vivid characters with distinct accents and a full range of emotions captivates the listener from first tape to last.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very nice, Avril 12 2002
Par Mark Grinstein-Camacho (Greater Boston, MA, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Romance and Excitement, Avril 22 2001
Par Un client
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.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not as good as I thought, Avril 24 2000
Par Guadalupe G Narbaitz (Capital Federal, Buenos Aires Argentina) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 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

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.

4.0étoiles sur 5 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
