It wasn't really my cup of tea but it's alright.In 1953, Elsie lives with her Nan because her mum is an actress and takes a lot of jobs far away. Elsie adores Nan, and the two have carved out a pleasant life for themselves. When Nan comes down with a bad case of tuberculosis, though, she has to go to the hospital to recover. Elsie's mum comes to try to take care of her, which works for a while, but Elsie has a bad leg. Despite her mother's objections, she eventually gets the leg seen to, and it turns out that she has a tubercular infection in
Such a lovely heartwarming story. Amazing.

This is an excellent must read book about a girl who catches TB
i read this book when i was quite young, like eight or so and absolutely adored it. i just found it again on my book shelf and im thinking of doing a reread because this was my favourite book when i was younger
Absolutely amazing. One of the best books Jackie's ever written (after the hetty feather trilogy). It was so touching and I almost cried at the end (that's only ever happened before when I read the 6th and7th harry potter) - I mean, call me soft, but it was truly so heartfelt and personal (are they the right words?!). I feel so close to Elsie and Queenie now and the afterword at the end was so beautiful. I definitely recommend.
OMG queenside is a star xx
