The Nutmeg Tree by Margery Sharp

Until recently I had never heard of Margery Sharp or her book, The Nutmeg Tree.  But I'm so glad I stumbled across her and her writing.

The author wrote this book in 1937.  From almost the first word you are grabbed by the heroine of the novel, Julia Packett – and thoroughly entertained and engaged by her.

Julia is kind-hearted, impetuous, and perhaps no better than she ought to be.  A charming book that I heartily recommend to you.

The author wrote 26 novels for adults – and this one was the most well-known.  Unfortunately she is no longer with us.  I enjoyed the large print version which was the only one available from the library.
