4.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, wonderfully written, Sep 15 2001
The story is about a girl, Maria, on a summer holiday with her parents. (I don't remember this place she went to, I read this some time ago) At this place she went to for her holiday, she met a boy who is like Maria in a way he enjoys his privacy, but he also is comfortable with his hectic life with his family. The other part of the story is that she finds out about a girl, Harriet, who lived (I'm not sure about this) about 100 years ago, who started an elaborate sampler... but never finished it. And Maria wants to find out why.


I don't know, the humour was kind of that which wasn't immediately seen... the story had beautiful descriptions and interesting thoughts from Maria. Part of the story was how Maria's parents were in response to Maria's friendship with the boy (can't remember his name) and his family, and I thought this was pretty interesting. One review on the back of the book described the story as 'haunting', and in a way it is.


Anyway, I think if you don't mind reading a lot, if you don't mind entering the thoughts of a young girl (11 years old)... you might like this. =)
