I randomly selected this book from the very wide range of books at my new school's library early this year (January 2009). It was what we may call 'an oldie but a goodie'...I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to the history of the 50s/60s/70s, and this book was set in the mid-1970s, so it was just up my alley.
The format was a little bit hard to follow, and the story ended on a different note than what I was expecting, however, the storyline was very moving as we watched the main girl in the story (forgive me, I've forgotten her name!) try to cope with a sudden death in the family (*spoiler!*)
For anyone who wants a trip down memory lane (history wise), and loves a bit of a tear-jerker, this is the book for you!
