Therefore and indeed, I also do have to thus wonder if this feeling of not really knowing all that much about and not being given all that many narrational details about Charlotte Makepeace at the beginning of Charlotte Sometimes might have been avoided if I had in fact previously read The Summer Birds and Emma in Winter and if the first two series novels do give readers an introduction to Charlotte Makepeace that is kind of missing in Charlotte Sometimes (as I do find Charlotte pretty scantily and uninterestingly depicted when Penelope Farmer first has her come to boarding school and even during her first time slip changes with Clare, that Charlotte Makepeace is present but not all that much being described in-depth, and that perhaps Penelope Farmer kind of until Charlotte is stranded in the past and Clare in the future rather assumes prior reading knowledge of in particular what Charlotte Makepeace is generally like and does not feel the need to expand on this all that much).

Looking back I can see this has in fact been an obsession with me, since the age of twelve or so at least. In Jessamy, written in a matter-of-fact style, a young girl experiences a time-slip, with the narrative switching between World War I and the present day.

They are hopeful that this will put an end to this routine which is becoming a frustrating way to live, as they are sure that the bed in which they are both sleeping in their different times must be the cause.

On October 20, a new film adaptation of John Williams’s novel Butcher’s Crossing, published by NYRB Classics in 2007, will be released in select movie theaters across the U.

The mood of B-side "Splintered in Her Head" is overall more disquieting, with metallic, distorted vocals and heavy percussion, foreshadowing the sound and feel of the band's next studio album, Pornography.
