Having the read the blurb, I expected the book to be something it wasn't, but once I had got over my preconceived ideas I really enjoyed this book.
It is a gentle book which moves slowly to tell the plot.
It is a perfect Autumn book as the main character spends a lot of her time walking in the woods!
The writing is beautiful - poetic and also witty at times. I liked the descriptions of the English countryside.
One of Warner’s better tricks is that you can’t really be sure if she’s introduced a supernatural element or not. Everything that happens subsequently can be explained without resorting to infernal pacts. Everything can be explained as a rationalization of Lolly’s rebellion.
