MY REVIEW
They named me Elizabeth, after the brand new princess, born at the exact same time as me, only across the other side of the river to posher parents, with a swankier address. Elizabeth Sarah Sunshine, to be known as Betsy. I was interested in reading about Elizabeth Sarah Sunshine. Sunshine it was the undertaking family business name. The Sunshine family was more known as Death as it had been in six generations.This part I believed in as with its quite true some business are kept within the family. But the name of the family business was named Sunshine & Sons, only because there were no sons, Elizabeth Sarah Sunshine’s dad will let the girls join the business where many fathers would just shut the shop.i strongly recommend reading Betsy and Lilibet for fans who like domestic and literary fiction. And if you enjoy Kate Atkinson & Rosie Thomas you will enjoy this paperback.
