Amazon Editorial Review:
In this witty look at the pretensions of suburbia, Abigail’s safe, middle-class home life, is thrown into dramatic relief as her friendship with Frances’s family gives her a new outlook – where her family is polite and ordinary, the Radleys are colourful and captivating. But through them she discovers that all is not what it seems in her own conventional family.

I found this in one of the charity shops in town and would probably have left it there were it not for the fact that my daughter was with me. She had read the book previously and urged me to buy it, so I did and I am very glad I listened to her.
This was a really splendid read.
My two daughters grew up in the '60's and there was so much here that resonated for me.

I've given it to my other daughter to take with her on a holiday to India this week. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did.

Just an update.
My daughter (the non-bookcrossing one) read and enjoyed this. She has now passed it on to her friend Sue, who will in tuern pass it on to Kath. Somewhere along the line it may get journalled!
