From School Library Journal:
Grade 5-8AReaders who have been captivated by these British sisters in The Exiles (1992) and The Exiles at Home (1994, both McElderry) will be delighted by this next installment of their madcap saga. Ruth, Naomi, Rachel, and Phoebe Conroy are growing up-as evidenced when they succumb to what their grandmother terms "The family failing." Though she makes it sound like an inherited characteristic like freckles, this failing is, in actuality, the tendency to fall in love, as Big Grandma puts it, "Impractically. Desperately. Unsuitably. And usually quite hopelessly." In this instance, events somewhat mysteriously engineered by Big Grandma snowball in a barely controlled fashion to land the Conroys a wildly charming French boy as a houseguest and later propel the girls on a holiday to Philippe's grandfather's orchard somewhere in France. Big Grandma and the grandfather are as thick as thieves, making readers aware that the family failing may not wear off with the passing of time. The tribulations of young girls in love, attempts to speak and shop in French, a possible ghost in the orchard, and the not-quite-plausible illness of Philippe combine to keep this lighthearted romp bouncing along. It all ends satisfyingly with a wedding. Great fun.AMiriam Lang Budin, Mt. Kisco Public Library, NY
