It felt as if it had less of a plot line, and it was more of an adult plot line, so not what I was expecting. It's well written and interesting, but I ultimately found it depressing.. Maryan Staske said Interesting family interactions. I am a Madeline fan and always enjoy her books and own many of them. When I started reading this one it seemed to be a good one to share with my early teen granddaughters but as I read on I realized it is really for late teens or young adults. As Camilla learns more about life, love, friendship and family conflicts she grows in maturity and finding her place in the world. I loved the part where she realizes that she is really an individual and has her own place in the world and that others do also. This takes great insight at her age and certainly will help her as she matures.
