- Reading
- Read together or check in after the opening chapters: ask what feels new for Selina, then discuss how the story’s wartime setting shapes everyday life if that becomes relevant.
- Themes
- Starting over with family: Selina is sent to live with her aunt, uncle and cousins in the country. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- A wartime setting: The story is set during and after the Second World War in Great Britain. The historical period is explicit, but its treatment cannot be assessed from the brief account of the plot.
- Worth knowing
- The Second World War is part of the setting. The extent to which wartime events affect the characters, or how directly they are shown, remains unclear.
