Just finished this wonderful book. I loved Cassandra immediately. A study of class and gender inside a delightful story. Thank you for bringing this book to my attention.
I’m also unlikely to pick a book categorised as ‘young adult’, and yet will reread books I first read as a child. Thanks for the recommendation, and I look forward to reading.
Thanks, Kate :) Yes, I wasn't expecting that! That's why I love the comments section of the newsletters - we get to experience a novel through different ideas, cultural expectations and experiences.

Ah, how lovely to hear! I always like to know what readers think of the books I discuss. Thank you for letting me know :)
I agree with you on this. We can get put off with age ranges or who this book is for. Just reading for pleasure is a good move.

I've never read this one, but it's always intrigued me. It must be the title!
I think you're right! It must be so tricky as a novelist to pick a title - it can make all the difference, can't it?
I am one of the Americans - isn’t it so interesting how we have different cultural knowledge bases?
I listened to this one and really enjoy the personal reflection, especially on home.

I've always loved that title but have never read the book. Now I'll have to!
I'll keep what you've written in mind as I do. Thanks.
Thanks, Ramona! It is a great title, isn't it? I hope you enjoy it :)
Nicely done!
Thanks, Diane! :)
