"On that bleak track, the sun almost gone again, tears were pouring down her face. She was crying and crying for a girl who had died more than forty years before, whom, in any normal world, to any normal way of thinking, she could not possibly have known" "For that moment everything else around her, everything else that happened, seemed to splinter in her head and fall away" "And there were soldiers all round her in red uniforms, stiff as toys, but tall as men" Quote

How sweet that she was at the show, despite The Cure obviously not being her cup of tea! And that Robert got her to sign his copy of Charlotte Sometimes! Quote

I got my copy of Charlotte Sometimes from the library many years ago, they were selling off old books & it was only 20p! I loved reading it for the first time & spotting all the words Robert used for his songs. I have read it many times since, to both of my daughter's at bedtimes & they now know which songs the words appear in & sometimes sing them to me! We all love the story & I will read it to my nieces when they are old enough. Quote

I loved it, really... :) Arthur, Sarah, Clare and Emily and Miss Agnes Brown... they all seemed so true... And what about the seance, and the letter from the adult Emily at the end... And when she tries to sleep in "her" bed that night to switch again, doesn't it feel a bit like the same feeling as in Three Imaginary Boys...? Quote
