The start of the novel has her on a ship, mid-way across the Atlantic, bound for Canada, where she will be starting her education at Miss Bodycote's Female Academy. She barely has time to...

Loved it - Flavia away from home, with none of her usual co-stars (not even her beloved laboratory), is Flavia nonetheless.

There are choices in life which you are aware, even as you make them, cannot be undone; choices after which, once made, things will never be the same. I'm not exactly sure what this was supposed to add to the series except for to serve as a reminder of just how much I loved the secondary characters...
