she didn't tame her handwriting, or measure the weight of each sentence as some might have done; instead she dashed it off, her teeth gritted.

Now known as Letters From My Sister... beautiful story about family, sisterhood, friendships, and a cliffhanger ending!

in theory, a good book. in practice, it took too long. and certain people's emotions had more ups and downs than a yo-yo. OK read for the beach or a lazy day.

a fun light-hearted beach read. It might give you cravings for chilli wine and chocolate!

really enjoying this collection of short stories from The Jungle camp at Calais. It humanises the news stories and gives depth to the people we see on TV.

given to me by my summer sister, this book is faithfully re-read every summer. The characters and their motivations change with each reading. Our friendship is (thankfully) less convoluted and complicated!

loved, loved, loved this book. A very honest and refreshing look at the American South, with its best & worst.
