She longs for a room of her own in a crowded apartment in a Catholic immigrant neighborhood before visiting her aunt at Glencairn, the Pitcairn’s castle home full of medieval treasures.With sparkling detail and whimsical humor, Beatrice Pitcairn captures the life of a family through the sweep of history, the angst of an adolescent only child, and the growth of a religious community.
