Facing the Light (2004)
“I absolutely and totally hate her. I wish I didn’t have to live in this horrible place with horrible people who don’t know anything. Nothing at all. Not about me, or what’s going on in the real world away from this ridiculous house with its endless grass and flowers and stupid lake that everyone thinks is so marvellous, and which is really so boring because all you can do with it is walk around it and once you’ve done that, well, there’s nothing else really. I hate it. I hate everything. They d...on’t understand anything, not any of them. Not Mummy, not Nanny Mouse, and not Gwen because she’s never bloody here anyway but in bloody Switzerland most of the time, learning how to fold napkins or something equally vital, and only coming home for a couple of weekends over the summer with James in tow because she’s two years older and she can do whatever she wants and not have anyone criticize her … Rilla’s thoughts went round and round in her head and she could hardly see through her tears.MoreLess
