silverbirch: This was such a pleasant read and absolutely perfect for hunkering down on a grey weekend. The story is really lovely and positive, about finding yourself and helping others. Padua sounds such a beautiful house and you can almost smell the rose garden!
A couple of things fell short: first, the character of Sunshine who has Downs Syndrome ("with her diminutive stature and ingenuous features") is reduced to a one-dimensional characature who laughably misues key words. Second, some of the unnecessary details eg Daisy's junior school bullies are identified as being from families in receipt of benefits (hint: not all those on benefits are bullies and not all bullies are on benefits), and Bruce's German wife is characatured as "a large German woman with Zepplin breasts and the suggestion of a moustache...Astonishingly, Bruce and Brunhilde had managed to produce offspring" is the only attempt at portraying other cultures.

I loved how the author created an ordinary character and give each of her a voice in wonderfully unique of ways. This is a storyline which opened my heart to changes and as I followed Martha gaining her butterfly wings and giving herself a shake in a new and wonderful way. I loved how...
