How could I have neglected this book so long! I have found me a new all time favourite. You have no idea how lucky you are that most of the time I was too entertained to post. I have saved quotes at the rate of one-a-chapter, and I was trying to be conservative. I read, and I kept researching thin...
I loved this book the first time I read it (approximately two or three years ago), but had no intentions to read it again any time soon.

This is one of the books I should have read and not listened-to. While the reader has a lovely voice, she's just not quite right for Calpurnia Tate, who should have been spunky and boisterous.
