"Go away," said Mary. "This is our tree."

That scene, starting with that line, is the number one reason why I fell in love with the movie and why I love this book. Even in the crushing grips of isolation, the symbolism and power the Lisbon girls show in this scene is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life. What a beautiful scene!

I read a bit more on the way hone until I couldn't any more because I was too tired to continue on without succumbing to the very little sleep I had before I began to read this. Rest assured, I am enjoying this book and can't wait to pick back up with it later.
