After the Snow by Susannah Constantine

This book was compared to Downton Abby, but I didn't really see that. We are dealing with some different class structure and what is and is not acceptable. Esme is excited about Christmas, but the underlying issues with her mother make things very twisted and unstable. We are taken back and forth with things that have happened over the years and I felt that there was an incompleteness to the whole story. Emotions and feelings were there but the overall substance was a bit lacking for me.
