    Exactly, it will all become clear, very soon
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Judging by the Intro and the bits read, it smacks a little of the film 'The Others'-Nicole Kidman was it? what a twist in the tale that was! but I'm intrigued....might even get it myself! That is if Amazon haven't run out!

    I'm up to page 37 and starting to get an inkling of what might be happening.

    How's everyone going with this?
    I'm at p113 and think that Jack's Mum is so creative, imaginative and trying so hard to give him the best of everything. She's a real heroine I think...

    I loved reading it for a second time - I think it’s one of those stories you can read over and over again. Ma was incredible, I’m not sure I could have kept Jack as happy as she did.

    At what point shall I post discussion questions?
