My GoodReads Rating: ⭐
This very short book is more like a short story. It is written from the Point of View of Elizabeth, a woman who is now a grandmother. She was a child when her neighbours, the Whittakers, hired Meddie as their housekeeper and nanny. Meddie knows everything that happens on Giffort Street.
Meddie is cold to everyone except the Whittaker girls, Candace and Margaret. The nanny has free rein in the Whittaker household. So strong is her influence that she is the one who decides the age gap between the children.
When Elizabeth’s father dies, her mother takes up a job and sends her off to spend time with Meddie and Margaret, until Elizabeth’s older brother, Will, comes home.
That’s all I can say about it. It seemed as if it was just getting warmed up when it ended abruptly. I felt cheated. All that mystery built up for nothing. In the end, no resolution at all.
