less’s Reviews > When Marnie Was There > Status Update

Mientras más leo el mundo de Anne se vuelve más brillante. Es grato ver como Marnie le enseñó lo afortunada que es y que ella también es amada, que merece ser amada. Pero sobre todo, el problema no radicaba es que existiera un círculo, sino que ella no quería salir de él. Algo que yo necesito aprender.

sometimes I found myself asking if children books really mean books for grown ups that once upon a time were children.

Until chapter 14 the vibe is so fairytale and I love that. But there’s the question Marnie ask to Anna that put me off. What does it feel to live with the Peggs? And relate with myself… what does it feel live with your dads? I’m not sure.

Things like parties and best friends and going to tea with people were fine for everyone else, because everyone else was ‘inside’ - inside some sort of invisible magic circle. But Anna herself was outside. And so these things had nothing to do with her. It was as simple as that.
