the mansion, whilst they are confined, is very interesting as at the start they are full of hope that one day they will venture downstairs when their grandfather dies and their mother can inherit. Over time the relationship changes and the children begin to lose hope in their mother whilst the older children become parental figures for the youngest.
I would recommend this book 100% and it is actually based upon a true story.
