A review by mcsangel2
White Boots by Noel Streatfeild

4.0

I skated as a teenager, and took it up again this year almost 35 years later. My mother-in-law gave me this book for Christmas, and I adored it! I loved the postwar England setting (where my MIL grew up), and all the skating references were very accurate, although now outdated (since figures were dropped from competitive skating in 1991).

I had never read any of Streatfeild's books although I was aware of them because of the references in "You've Got Mail."

Lovely book that reminds me a lot of Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy series.
