We say: **
What a wishy washy book this is!
The romantic family who is poor as church mice but can't work so sells their furniture, eats nothing but what they grow in the garden but hey ho, still has live in servants!
The girls' characters are extremely limited by today's standards and the parents worse than useless!
"oh we are so posh that no one would employ us but everyone wants to be our friend and share their good fortune with us...." - a good work experience stacking shelves at Tesco was what I was left wishing for them all....
Irritating and narrow minded.
Don't really understand how so many people - from Isherwood to JK Rowling - quote it as one of their main sources of inspiration. Maybe they could relate. I certainly didn't.
However, curious to see the film, may need to track in down somewhere on the web.
I am sure an exceedingly posh British cast under clever direction can transform it into a spiffing good film.
After all, that is what happens with the Harry Potters isn't it?
