Another winner from Lena Kennedy

What a pity that the author started writing her magnificent, picaresque tales so late in her life! I've hunted down and read virtually every Lena Kennedy novel, and they all share that bittersweet, epic quality. If only more modern-day authors had the talent to paint such vivid little worlds and unforgettable characters!

Very, very good! I did not want to put this book down. Colorful East end (of London)language. You will laugh out loud!

A MOST TREASURED STORY

I WAS 11 YEARS OLD WHEN I FOUND AND UNPUBLISHED COPY OF MAGGIE. MY NAME IS MAGGIE AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO FIND A BOOK WITH MY NAME ON IT WHEN EXPLORING THE DEPTHS OF MY PARENTS GARAGE. IT HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME PRETTY TOUGH TIMES. I BOUGHT THE BOOK THIS YEAR AND HAVE READ IT OVER AGAIN 5 MORE TIMES. I LOVE THIS BOOK IT IS MY CONSTANT COMPANION. MAGGIE....NJ

Whenever I'm down, I read it and it lifts me up again.

This was one of the BEST books I have ever read. Once I picked it up I could not put it down. I've read it five times and I have to read it again. It keeps me going. It lifts my spirits. I've passed the book to my sister and she's thanked me over and over again. Maggie made me believe that, if she could go through all that she went through and not just survive but thrive, then I could do the same.
