The last of the Katy series. More interesting than the previous two, but the ending was not very satisfying and all of the female characters seem to end up having the exact same personality. They all live happily ever after, as polite well-dressed housewives who are good at decorating but not too snobby. ( )

I didn't even know that this existed until I found it free for my Kindle. Fifth in the series about 'Katy' and her family, this is set mostly in Colorado, and features a young English brother and sister, Lionel and Imogen, who move out to work with Clover and Elsie's husbands. I very much appreciated the gradual culture adjustment that Imogen struggles with, having gone through very similar feelings despite living nearly a century later.

The plot inevitably involves a rather too tidy double romance and a delightful happy-ever-after (or at least for the next year) conclusion, which makes it a fitting end to this series; I read and loved the first three books several times as a child and teenager and always wished that there was more.

Somewhat of a disappointment after 'Clover' and the rest of the Katy books. I'd waited many years to read 'In the High Valley' and found it to be little more than a way to conveniently give the as yet unmarried characters happy endings. There is a small plot around the character of Imogen Young and her dislike of all things American but it's resolved quite predictably. By all means read/buy for completeness, but for rereads stick to the other Katy books.

A note on the Dodo Press edition - there are numerous typesetting errors which are quite distracting, other editions may be better.

It was a morning of late May, and the sunshine, though rather watery, after the fashion of South-of-England suns, was real sunshine still, and glinted and glittered bravely on the dew-soaked fields about Copplestone Grange.
