Definitely a difficult one to get to grips with, as a 'reviewer' - but a rollercoaster ride for the reader.<br /><br /><b>Barbara</b> - good grief!!!<br /><br /><b>Annabel</b> - aww, not ALL of them are ghastly! I love Irene, and Miss Trixie, and even the Levys. But Ignatius is indisputably ghastly.<br /><br /><b>Clare</b> - thanks my lovely!
