I can sympathise with her at the beginning.<br /><br />Hannah - it would be a great book for a book group and you must have had some interesting discussions.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-25627719062799959342010-05-24T08:14:55.098+01:002010-05-24T08:14:55.098+01:00So glad that you enjoyed Rebecca - I read it with ...So glad that you enjoyed Rebecca - I read it with my book group a little while ago and everyone loved it. <br /><br />Great to read your review<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-61917662240223422532010-05-24T02:15:42.946+01:002010-05-24T02:15:42.946+01:00This is probably one of my all time favourites.

That's something that crossed my mind too.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-51996686820548300062010-05-23T21:41:16.964+01:002010-05-23T21:41:16.964+01:00They probably did all end up big as houses. :-)
