First off, I'll start by saying - I'm not sure what's going on with the cover on this particular edition - definitely don't judge this book by this particular cover! Okay, now on to the good stuff! This is one of my all-time favorite books. Seriously. Top five, easy. I first read it as a teenager and have re-read it at least once a year since then and ended up buying an ebook version to give my poor, battered paperback copy a rest. If you have to put a few adjectives on it, they would be "lovely" and "sweet". I cheer on the heroine's transformation and path of self-discovery and shudder at the over-bearing, stuck-in-stone family she lived with for the first 29 years of her life. By the time I close the book, I feel as if I've spent a few hours with the sort of old friends that are more like family and know that it was time well spent!
