I'm still getting into it....Thanks, Makayla ... I'm still getting into it. The style is very different - first person 'bookish' child narrator, who uses lots of invented words in her personally styled vocabulary: 'Suddenly my existence was uncosied', 'I lonelied my way around the big house', 'a house uncomfortabled and shabbied' etc etc ... that is, she turns nouns into verbs. Whilst they are all rather lovely words, I find myself halting each time I recognise one - which is a little disconcerting in the flow of reading - but I hope I will get used to it and not continue to be distracted by it.Gina Slevechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235497004097798739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813763487988354800.post-23519177380582323192010-08-12T18:26:51.144-07:002010-08-12T18:26:51.144-07:00Everytime i read your blog it makes me feel guilty...Everytime i read your blog it makes me feel guilty for not reading more books!!
