Loved this! Also the Gabrielle Zevin TOOK ME BACK! I thought it sounded familiar and when I looked it up, realised I’d read it as a kid around the time it came out in 2005! I loved the story so much and now it makes so much sense that it’s a Gabrielle Zevin because she’s such a fantastic storyteller.
Thank you for the playlist recommendation! And I will be searching brassic now. What a name!
Love these round ups! And Clare Chambers - YES - she is incredibly subtle. Reminds me a bit of Barbara Pymm (but I think BP is funnier!).
I haven’t read any Barbara Pymm! But I think I have one of hers on a shelf somewhere. I will investigate! Thanks!

Omg is that how old it is?! God. She’s been great since the very beginning!!
Hasn’t she?!
