content: From the moment I first picked up this novel, I simply could not put it down. I instantly fell in love with Dodie Smith's style of writing. She describes the characters and the setting so well that you feel as if you are inside the book rather than reading it. What makes this book so great is that by the time you are finished you feel as if each character was a long lost friend and you feel so sad that the book has ended. This is definately a book that I will read again and again in the future, and I will most definately cherish it forever.
