In name and by birth, Celia was a Dunne. She had inherited the beautiful old family home by the Rydd Water - but was she bound to live her life by the principles of her predecessors? Was there some hidden restraint that compelled her to heed the past? Celia's house is a moving and poignant story of the struggle between old and young: the older generation anxious to preserve the values they have helped create while their children are determined at all costs to make lives of their own.

"I read Celia's House many times before but after reading Mansfield Park. I noticed that D.E must have been inspired by Jane Austen. Deb is very similar to Fanny Price and other advents in the book are like Mansfield Park. It was fun reading through and finding the similarities" — Grace (5 out of 5 stars)

" This was a fun book - quick read. Not something I'll keep on my shelf, but good for a break. It takes place in Scotland before and during WWII. "
" Reading to Adeline "
" Not my favorite Stevenson, but contains enough of her usual charm and characterization to make a cozy afternoon of reading. "
" Another great book by one of my favorite authors. If you love Scotland, multigenerational family books, and books on WWII, this is one for you. "
" This was a multigenerational story of the people who lived in this house in Scotland. It was short on detail, but I tend to like these kind of stories and this was a great for light reading. "
