First of all, the introduction by Jackie Morris (quoted above) and the included review by Eleanor Farjeon were as beautifully written as Barbara Newhall Follett's debut novel itself, and absolutely crucial in providing me with the context to appreciate it.
I have a feeling this is a book that I will remember for years and years to come. Perhaps I won't always remember the names of any characters or even any particular scenes, but I will remember the way it made me feel.
This is THE autistic girl book!
She never had had such a lot of emotions in her head at the same time. She tried to describe them to herself, but soon gave it up as useless. She thought: 'Here I am; I see it; you don't need to tell me about it!'
