Catlady - I just wanted to say I’m sorry you can’t read the book, but I completely empathize. I have a hard time shaking images of children being mistreated, so I’ve learned it’s easier for me fast forward the tv / bypass imagery in books as well. Last edited by Victoria; 09-04-2019 at 11:52 AM. |

It is sad reading. Not at all what you imagine when you think of the Lake District.
