ninarg 's review for:

The Light Years by Elizabeth Jane Howard
3.0
relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I am not sure why I didn't enjoy this more. The characters are lovingly realised and felt very real to me, and I like the setting and the writing. The children were charming and their worlds and worries and feelings very realistic and enjoyable. And yet I found that I was bored a lot of the time. Maybe it was just the wrong book at the wrong time for me.
