My sister gave me this book to read and I was sceptical until I'd read the first few pages. One minute your crying the next you're laughing your socks off. The whole book has a quality seldom found these days. Rosie and her adopted "Relatives" are wonderful people, and I want to be like her real Great Aunt Dodie one day (if only I was wealthy enough). It's worth reading just to meet the donkeys!

Terrific characterisation-Pip Granger has a gift! I knew and loved these characters in two chapters. Rosie is an especially amazing character, precocious but likeable. What kept me turning the pages was the desire to find out what Rosie would say or do next. This little girl is narrating an adult story with rather adult overtones, yet she remains completely in character as a seven-year-old child and never sounds a bit stilted. My only complaint is that this book is too short. Please tell me there's a sequel!

one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time, you feel that you are there with Rosie and the people that surround her. I couldn't put it down and neither will you if you buy it, an excellant read.

This is a first book by Pip Granger. I normally don't read sagas like this, preferring thrillers and crime stories. But this book was a gem of a find. Read more
