Rezension von AntoniaVery charming little book, but I didn't quite feel the chemistry between Lucy and George.
Rezension von kensome sections are muddled because of how certain things are described as euphemisms (like the ending, when Mr. Emerson is talking to Lucy about George. i thought something had happened to him). but what is True is never vague and always makes itself Understood.
