I was also talking to a friend at the weekend who's a big reader and she said that she didn't like either In The Forest or Down by the River (can't remember which). While it has probably dated, Country Girls was considered quite seminal at the time.

She writes the odd article for the Guardian Review section that are always worth a read.

Thinking of you, Dx.
