I have read and re-read this book over the years getting enjoyment from it every time. I love the theme - young girl escapes the oppressive family who attempt to organise her life for her, concerned only with their own appearance, with no interest in her own feelings. Hebe's solution to her problem - earning a living - is clever, amusing and nicely apt, considering her family's opinion of her. That she makes such a success of her chosen career is a highly satisfying slap in the face for them..

You don't need me to tell you the story. If you like Wesley, you'll like this.
It's imaginative but realistic. Be prepared to take yourself into a world you (maybe) wouldn't normally be in. Everything you learn about the characters gives you an insight into them and, like me, I think you might find at least one charater that a part of you identifies with.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
