I just read 'The Owl Service' for the first time.

I expect I'll be haunted by "She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting." for a very long time.

Isn't that breathtaking?

Oh I will have to look for that.

And HUGS HUGS!

It's a strange kind of book- supposed to be young adult, but elliptical and unexpectedly tense.

I think Ellen recommended years and years ago.

Man, I haven't read that in a million years. I should give it a re-read some time.

It's one I go back to every now and again, because it's been stuck in my head since I first read it.

I think I wish I'd read it when I was a kid, I can tell it's something that sticks.

It's haunting. And apparently also was a television series, though I can't imagine how that would work.
