Goal: 100 books this year, plus the Bible in its entirety.
Finally finished book #1 of this year's challenge!
Park Avenue by Frances Osborne covers the stories of Michael Campbell and his sister Grace, lower-class Londoners in the early 1900s who are determined to better their lot without having to go "into service," Edward and Beatrice Masters, children of the "big house" where Grace ends up working as a housemaid while Michael clerks at a local law office, and all their various friends and relations and how they all handled their situations before, during and after WWI.
It was interesting, but there were so many characters and too many sub-plots for my taste. I had a little trouble keeping track of everyone and his/her comings and goings.
