:thumbs_upI shall be taking advantage of the on-line text for this one, a first for me! :)
Just downloaded my ecopy as well!

(With special thanks to Papaya, who has introduced me to this great site! :))
I have my book, but probably won't be able to start posting until after the 7th.
I look forward to reading this one.
Ouch! Just realised how long this one is! :goof:
I happen to have this book. I will try to read it, join in and comment. Heard it was a good book.
I also have this book, so I might read it and join in.
So, I have read 1/10 of the book; it is an easy going read so far. Was a little confused about how old Polly was initially and I am still wondering how old Lucy is.
Is Lucy going to fall in love with Graham to lose him to more interesting and exciting Polly when they grow up?
I have not yet advanced that far, but I was a bit confused about Polly as well regarding her age. They walked about putting her in a crib but she walks around talking with a rather extensive vocabulary. Though I have to say I do find her to be a touch obnoxious thus far.
I'll give this a try too! I miss LitNet book club readings! Though, I for one will also have to take advantage of the online copy!
I think I can help you with this.:) Lucy is 14. 'Vilette' is based on Bronte's memories of Brussels. That makes the book interesting. I read it years ago in russian. It would be nice to read it in original now, but I don't think I'll do it. I'll just follow your discussion; in silence of course:D .
