Je connaissais déjà l'histoire grâce à l'adaptation de Ghibli, mais la lecture a vraiment été agréable! L'histoire, mais aussi la plume, est douce et très belle. Tous les personnages sont attachants, et les descriptions donnent l'impression d'être en Angleterre. L'histoire n'a pas vieillie et se lit très facilement. On sent qu'elle s'adresse à un lectorat jeune mais parle aussi bien aux adultes. On se questionne sur l'enfance et l'acceptation de soi-même à un âge où beaucoup de choses changent.
L'histoire de Marnie est toujours aussi émouvante.

I was definitely more engaged in the first half/two-thirds or so of the book. I'm glad Anna got what she was looking for, but I kind of lost some interest when the Lindsays took on as big of a role as they did.

A beautiful coming-of-age tale for the girls looking for a place to fit in and their place in the world. Beautiful, sad, and ultimately kind.
