But it did go on the list, didn't it? Sorry if I sent it to the wrong
address - but I am sure I remember Jo replying to thank me, so she at least

Thanks so much for typing all that out, Lisa - fascinating reading! I loved
the bit about forcing servants to open windowns "even against their will",
you can just imagine a skirmish between mistress and maid. Or, more likely,
one wandering around the house opening windows, and the other quietly

my thoughts...
Just finished it last night, and the reasons I didn't really like are

1. It reminded me too much of "Saplings", possibl
The worst ever for me - perhaps it caught me at an off moment - was that bit
in Northern Lights with the chapter about the lost boy. I may never re-read

I found it unpleasant and unrealistic at the same time.
I am actually getting on with it a lot better now (about 3/4 of the way

I know what you mean about it being unpleasant, that was
At the risk of sound paranoid, it is worth investigating further, especially
