While I don't think this is the best of disability representation and it can be quite sentimental, this shall be forgiven due to the time period it was written in and because I just enjoyed this book immensely thanks to its wonderful and lovable characters. Their relationships were so real, complex and full of love, I couldnt help feeling for them. I love the writing and how much it transports the characters' emotions. While the most important characters were maybe too much stereotypical good people by the time's standarts, Craik gives them their sets of doubts, fears, joys and moments of weakness so that they still manage to feel belivable and real. I thoroughly loved this read.
