| Rounded up to 4.5 stars. I loved pretty much everything about this book except the ending. I cannot say more than that, and other reviewers obviously disagree. All the characters were engaging, although they behaved in bizarre and mysterious ways. Th ...more | |

I have read this novel several times over the years and it has only improved with each read. With all the charm of the Anne books, it is nevertheless aimed at more mature readers — as someone else called it, a Young Adult book for Adults. The novel o ...more |

“I set one cup of milk into a pan of water and heated it to boiling. Bridget stirred the dry ingredients together five times, as the recipe directed: one cup flour, one cup sugar, three teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. She sifted so merrily that a cloud of white flour circled her curly dark head like a halo. Into the dry ingredients I poured the hot milk, then folded in two stiff egg whites before pouring the batter into a pan and popping it into a moderate oven. When it had risen satisfactorily and a broom straw inserted into the centre came out clean,”

“Fear is the original sin. Almost all of the evil in the world has its origin in the fact that some one is afraid of something.It is a cold slimy serpent coiling about you. It is horrible to live with fear; and it is of all things degrading.”
