pickI was precisely the wrong age for this when it came out, so (shock, horror) this is the first time I‘ve read it - somehow I‘ve avoided spoilers for the last 30 years, so there were actually a few surprises in there! Brilliant, obviously, but boy is it dark!?! And Mrs Phipps 👍👍👍 Kate Winslet‘s audio is perfect.
Litsy says this scrapes in at 256pp, so #BBRC #MiddleGrade #MoreThan250pp
