The Ghost Of Gosswater by Lucy Strange

Paperback 320 pages - First published 2020

Agatha has lost both her mother and father before she's twelve and now the new Lord of Gosswater, her cousin, has kicked her out of Gosswater Hall and told her she's not actually an Asquith. Her real father is a goose farmer and she is sent to live with him, losing all of her favourite silk dresses. She tries to adjust to her new life and makes a new friend, but soon starts to see and feel a ghostly presence. Will Aggie regain her old life in Gosswater Hall, or is she destined to be a farmer's daughter?

I adore Lucy Strange's books. I've met her and she's such a lovely person to talk to. Her books are always beautiful and atmospheric, and this one is no different. I will be honest, at first I wasn't sure if I liked Agatha as she seemed quite pretentious and angry. Soon you realise why and you become rather endeared to her.

The story builds at a gradual pace and the characters are all well written with different interests and likeability. I honestly couldn't say anything negative about this story but I also can't say too much without giving away what happens.

A huge hearty 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
