She is a late child, born when her mother was thought to be rather beyond child-bearing years. Springer has created a genuinely inspired character of depth, passion, emotion, and isn't afraid to make her fallible and and occasionally unlikeable - in other words, a believable fourteen-year-old girl.Enola is fourteen, the daughter of gentry and living in the country in 1888. ![]() The concept of a 'Sherlock Holmes Younger Sister' young adult genre could have been as dull, vapid, and predictable as - sorry - the old 'Nancy Drew' serials. ![]()
