I would love to see this book made into a mini-series. Cyril Avery is such a beautifully written character. I also would love a companion book to follow the rest of Catherine Goggin's life. I think my favorite part of this book was following her and then when Cyril was a boy in the Avery house. I love the way this story was told. The author displays the harrowing situations Cyril goes through in a way that is impossible not to empathize with. With the current political climate in the US, I feel like this book should be mandatory reading.
Did anyone else picture Mr. Denby-Denby as Rumplestiltskin from Shrek but with blonde hair instead of red? Because same. I think the balance of real issues and humor was perfect. Though, I feel so bad for Alice. I wasn't ready for Julian's death, let alone Bastian's right after. So many tears. I love that Cyril and Catherine kept going in and out of each other's lives and finally found out who they were to each other. I loved reading this book.
