I have my book, but probably won't be able to start posting until after the 7th.

I look forward to reading this one.

I happen to have this book. I will try to read it, join in and comment. Heard it was a good book.

Ouch! Just realised how long this one is!

I also have this book, so I might read it and join in.
"...You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe
I do not find it is that long, but maybe it just seems that way to me compared to some of the other books I have recently been reading. 40 chapters seems reasonable compared to books that are nealy 70 or 80 chapters long.Originally Posted by Scheherazade

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?

Gee, Scher, sounds like you have the book all figured out. I own a copy from Dover (on their sale once) so I will try to start reading it. It's long for me though. I have not delved into a long book in ages.

Well, I am hoping that if someone confirms this, I may not have to read the whole thing!

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!
