I think it was her longing for a place of her own, and then the work she did on the cottage (especially the gardening), that resonated with me.Anamaria (bookstogether)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10361389598002568007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-86072579271301484202008-05-19T17:09:00.000-05:002008-05-19T17:09:00.000-05:00I have never read this book!
