![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We enjoyed Janey's developing friendship with Lupe, a Mexican girl who's family live in the shack opposite, we enjoyed Janey's relationship with her non biological mum, and of course Bounce Reyburn the baddie of the story livened things up with our desperate hope he will get found out! We did have to stop the book several times to say 'for goodness sake, tell someone!' We really liked the character Miss Peterson, who is teacher at the camp school, we wondered if this was paid for by the government ? Janey longs for some permanence and finds the only constant thing in her life is nature and the seasons and her treasured willow pattern plate that had once belonged to her biological mother.Īlthough the start was slow and for us the story lacked the magical qualities of our recent read The Velvet Room, which followed a similar theme, we soon became involved with the characters and storyline. ![]() She has moved once again with her dad and step-mum, although once having a ranch of their own, due to failed harvests through drought, they now have to travel around for seasonal work and barely earn enough to live on. 4.5 stars.The story starts in September, with Janey Larkin sitting on the step of a shack. ![]()
