JR’s Reviews > The Amber House > Status Update

Usually this kind of story would focus on the younger girl in the book, Derry, as she is having lots of adventures and fun with her friend Bill. However the older girl Helen who is just embarking on her adult life is the main subject, how she deals with her employer and looks out for the younger girl. Also her first ‘romance’ -nothing sloppy or OTT. The descriptions of Rye are as appealing as Malcolm Saville’s.
