Jill Paton Walsh is best known to me for being the writer who completed and then continued Dorothy L Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books - I'd never read her own books, so I thought I'd give them a try. I enjoyed this. I predicted some elements of it, but not others, and am curious to see where the rest of the series goes as I haven't quite got a grasp on the main character yet - she feels slightly unrealistic, though not in a bad way, necessarily. But then, so does much of what takes place in Oxbridge (ie high academia), so perhaps she fits in.
