I didn't really like the first episode (the reappearance of a blind girl who disappeared years past, and is no longer blind), it didn't seem to fit in with the description of the series. However once past that it really got good, exploring what she had been through in the intervening period and what she now does when back in her old house/family/life.
The ending was complete dog muck though. All that potential just thrown away for smaltzy rubbish.
  
i'm just able to skim this but i like it much better than his original book. there are tons of exercises and not as many quizzes. i guess it helps to know what kind of person you are in the relationship (contemptuous, defensive, etc) and to know your argument style. but with "seven principles" you're given the tools to help your marriage period. it doesn't make much of a difference if you're conciliatory or volatile. i'd recommend this book over the other.

This was a nice coming of age story set in post WWII America. It dealt with gender stereotypes but in a very positive manner. I would say I find it hard to believe that there was no homophobia at the time period( I know there was) but the author chose to focus on the girls. I also think pre 1960's being gay wasn't shamed or hated as much. It was really quick read with agood messege about being true to yourself.

Alison is my favourite historical author - her characters are as close to their true stories as fiction can possibly allow them to be. She can get inside the time period and their heads to take the reader on an emotional and exciting journey. It is the plight of Tudor women she does this with best; and the two books about Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey are my favourites. I have loved devouring her books - easy reads and original twists.
