This review is from: Young Renny (Jalna) (Paperback)

I'm surprised there are no reviews for this yet, as it's one of the most enjoyable books in the series that I've read so far. Young Renny takes place in 1906 and is a real coming-of-age book. Quite humorous in places. Written in 1935, there's a subltety about one of the characters(Malahide)that I was surprised to find. Adeline remains a force to be reckoned with. Don't miss this book if you're reading the Jalna series!
