Sincerely, Harriet
by Sarah Winifred Searle
Sincerely, Harriet is a lovely little book about a young girl living with Multiple Sclerosis. Harriet's family have moved to a new apartment in a new city in the middle of summer break, and the loneliness is getting to her. She writes postcards to her friends, but they never write back. She has reading to finish, but she hates the books. But worst of all, her MS seems to be flaring up again.
This book is really rather sad. Harriet is miserable, she misses having friends and worries about the effect her illness has on herself, and her family. Harriet's parents, and her downstairs neighbour Pearl (who also owns the building) all try and help Harriet in their own ways, but still she feels alone. It's sad, but quite beautiful.
The art is really lovely too...especially the eyes. Every time Harriet's face gets a close up, her eyes speak volumes to me.
