Sibling bonds?
Review of Brother and Sister - Joanna Trollope by frankiecesca

Advantages: An interesting storyline
Disadvantages: Characters not as good as usual from this author

A riveting review - Cook was always one of those figures we learnt about very early on in school, so has always fascinated me - I had no idea about his severe decline towards the end so I obviously wasn't paying attention! by Mildew82
