More like 3.5 but I'll be nice. ;)
I really enjoyed the stories about the family and Kick Kennedy. I less enjoyed the mining stuff, but definitely understand its place in the story.
I love weird British families.
Really interesting and well-told history of the Fitzwilliam family and the village of Wentworth. Not just illuminating about the house and the family, the book also goes into detail in particular about the lives of the miners who supported the family's wealth and status.
