A Long Way from Verona by Jane Gardam

5.0

I loved it. It was odd and unexpected and just so vivid. If you were ever labelled 'precocious' or 'too clever' or 'brilliant but difficult' at school you'll understand Jessica well. It's an incredibly accurate picture of what it's like to be a confused and lost teenager trying very hard to not seem like you are. There's so much to say about this book but I may have to come back and edit my review later because all I can think is - I loved it.
