Funny, poignant story of a smart but somewhat self-raised 4-6 year old at a time when ADD was not a diagnosis and parents listened to teachers/ priest and doctors as a voice of ultimate authority. I would have skipped the last chapter, when she was age 15 and almost seduced by a selfcentred young priest. After such a great story, it left a sadness at the end of her story and a pall on the whole novel.Nevertheless it is the last chapter which gives the book its title so the author was telling me something else about her childhood. I will certainly read this author again.
