Strange.

I think the creepiest part is how Melanie her realizing where she is and how the Victorian person she has become, Milly, has parallels to her own life. Not a good advertisement for time-travel!<br /><br />Amanda -- you'd probably like this one. I may get you hooked on Persephones yet!<br /><br />Jenny -- were you confused when she woke up in Victorian times? I think that's kind of the point, that the reader is as confused as Melanie. Things start to become clear to the reader as they do to Melanie. It's worth sticking with. I do want to read Little Boy Lost also, I've heard it's very different but also wonderful. So sorry I missed Persephone reading week.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-70431277357484511312010-10-02T10:31:03.107-04:002010-10-02T10:31:03.107-04:00I feel so dumb!

I actually had to put down a murder mystery once b/c it was too much... not gruesome just psychological. Have fun with the rest of the challenge!
