This whole thing pissed me off good story but I hate the uncle

Really dark but love it!

The uncle is easy to hate and easy to imagine as a character. However, it was difficult to get attached to the 'protagonist' for me. It seemed conflicting that she should sound smart/intelligent in the very earliest part of the story and yet seem... less clever later on.

On a semi-related note, does it take a degree to become a librarian in England? I know in the states librarians in general require a degree. An assistant librarian would make more sense if so for her age and formal education. (That is assuming this is not an alternate Earth timeline, by which then go right ahead. I didn't catch specifically what era the setting was or what war specifically the story was referring to other than the "historical" tag.)
