I to...Hi Heather! I'm linking to your review!<br /><br />I totally got the part about Margaret's story. I can't relate to it at all, but given Miss Winter's story, I think it helped explain why Margaret was so dramatically affected the way she was. I suppose it wasn't really essential to the plot, but I do think it added some depth to Margaret's character.Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-39703167967316971762009-05-28T09:23:06.064-04:002009-05-28T09:23:06.064-04:00I just finished this and didn't realize you had re...I just finished this and didn't realize you had reviewed it before!

The part that heavily influences Margaret's story - I have a vague recollection and yes, I had to read that part a couple times. I wasn't sure about it. I definitely will be revisiting the book.
