The Crimson Rooms by Catherine McMahon

This took place in the early 20th century in England.  Women did not have much going for them and this was about a female lawyer and how she was trying to make a go of it.  It was post war and there were the layers of that being worked through with her and her family.  Then there was a surprise from overseas that rocks the whole family.  It did have a lot going on but I do not think that anything was glossed over or poorly portrayed.  The building of the characters and how they worked together had very good flow and I can say that I really saw them, which does not always happen for me.  I will probably pick up more of her books if I do see them.
