Changes

But ultimately it is about family. Lily's illness and her hating the idea she might lose her place in the parental affections top and tail this novel, meaning you get a heck of a lot of fantasy drama, and a heck of a lot of relatable, hard-hitting emotion when called for. It's a quite splendid mix, all told – a very readable book covering serious topics with, yes, a Mole demanding a change in diet from just worms, and a Mouse trying very hard to be brave. And yes, that is an ungainly mix, so just think on how much conviction must be on the page for me to rate it as I did.
