One of my favourite books. I think it has a fantastically strong first-person narrator, and also one of the best first lines ever :) (Although the first line of Captain Corelli's Mandolin is also a contender). :)
I have never read the book, but recognize the author as the one who wrote the original 101 Dalmations -- which is so much more charming and layered than the Disney cartoon version. I'll have to look for this one at the library. Thanks for inspiring me.

ReplyDeleteI saw this film a few months ago, and it was so romantic! Beautiful styles, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the movie but your poem took me there
