The only ting I liked was the historical part set in Ireland and that is what made me give it 3 star, and I usually don't like the "flashback" parts. The plot was all over the place and was just full of bad ideas that people in real life never would have done. The book ended were it should have started and made me dislike all the sisters even more after six books of trying to like them. ![]() ![]() Read review at your own risk, if you are sensitive it may contain spoilers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But mostly for Derek Cooper whose own tragic story has headlined Addison's news.

The appeal of these tales lies partly in the language in which they are told, which, though very simple, makes every scene vivid. (CS Lewis's Narnia owed much to the imaginary world that MacDonald created in his children's classic, Phantastes.) Curdie arrives with 50 monstrous-looking but brave and noble creatures who help him foil the plotters and restore happiness and justice to the city.

Maybe she has written about this before but it almost seemed hidden. Kaminsky too briefly tells the poignant story of her mother's death. They were no help at all when she was diagnosed with a potentially fatal brain tumour at the age of 63. This contrasts with the story of Melanie, who thought she could chase away her fear of mortality with repeated plastic surgeries.
