pickI enjoyed this #europacollective I like a precocious tween narrative ( I was getting Harriet the Spy and Flavia de Luce vibes at different points despite there being no mystery in this) Jessica Vye made me laugh and cringe in equal measures.
pickReally liked this one, the sequel to The Road to Dalton. It‘s been five years, and the same characters are still there, living their lives and carrying on after the tragedy in the first book. It‘s a slice of small town Maine, and I enjoyed every minute.

And this is why I love Garham.
I think this same thing about anonymous people on the internets all the time. 😂

I think most people have already read the ‘current‘ #europacollective already but I have finally joined the party
bailedJust not feeling it. 😏 Reading life is short, like summer is in the north.
I‘m sure it‘s me - I rarely enjoy reading teen angst.

I wasn‘t quite prepared at first for the precocious adolescent narrator, and it took me a little while to really get into the story. Once I gave it a chance, I really enjoyed the slice-of-life picture of growing up in 1940s England. I especially appreciated seeing the class differences through Jessica‘s eyes. Beautifully written and vividly imagined. Many of the issues Jessica grapples with map well onto 2020s adolescence. 4⭐️

pickI thought that this was rather wonderful though I am partial to the precocious, “not quite normal” girls of literature. Love Gardam‘s wit and the dialogue felt warm and authentic. Also enjoyed all the details of navigating adolescence during the early years of WWII.

panI didn‘t think you could go wrong with Europa Editions books, but this one proved me wrong. It‘s about child, semi-intellectual and weird, yet not interesting at all. Set in the UK during WWII but that didn‘t do much for the story either. In fact nothing much happens. I am sorry I can‘t be more encouraging. #EuropaCollective
