I really liked this as well, but I found it challenging to read in terms of style. It took some getting used to, but the writing is lovely. I have one of her earlier books as well to read.

Lovely new site ... and sounds like a marvelous new read. Happy New Year!

I enjoyed this book that I read some time ago. I particularly enjoyed your review. I am sending the book to a friend and I will enclose a copy of your review. Thanks! I'm glad to see the new Cornflower Books looks familiar. Happy New Year to All.

You might want to read Michael Morpurgo's War Horse to compare - or to see the National Theatre's puppet version, which is gut-wrenchingly emotional.
