In fact, the world’s truest lover of the Lee family gingerbread is Harriet’s charismatic childhood friend, Gretel Kercheval – a figure who seems to have had a hand in everything (good or bad) that has happened to Harriet since they met. Londoners may find themselves able to take or leave it, but it’s very popular in Druhástrana, the far-away (and, according to Wikipedia, non-existent) land of Harriet Lee’s early youth. And then there’s the gingerbread they make. For one thing, they share a gold-painted, seventh-floor flat with some surprisingly verbal vegetation.
Perdita Lee may appear your average British schoolgirl Harriet Lee may seem just a working mother trying to penetrate the school social hierarchy but there are signs that they might not be as normal as they think they are. My first book of 2020 was the delightful Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi. Last year I aimed to read 12 books but ended up reading 50, this year I hope to do even better. I found it fun to share my book reviews and recommendations and discovered lots of great books to read. 2019 was the first year I decided to join up to Goodreads and take part in a challenge to read more books.
