I've only read Jellicoe Road by her, but I keep meaning to get around to the other ones. AND I want to re-read Jellicoe Road. Grr..So many books, so little time!Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-2178639535705538922011-03-08T09:28:20.642-06:002011-03-08T09:28:20.642-06:00Great review!

I agree that sometimes not a lot was going on. I think that's because character development is a lot more important to her books than plot. Like you said, the secondary characters were very strongly developed in the book. I loved Francesca's relationships with her friends.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-85269391531772312642011-03-07T21:17:41.889-06:002011-03-07T21:17:41.889-06:00It's my goal to read all of Melina Marchetta&#...It's my goal to read all of Melina Marchetta's books. She's such an amazing writer. I agree about how she uses geography in her books. The area in which Jellicoe Road is set wouldn't normally be my favorite climate (I really hate hot weather) but the descriptions of the area around Jellicoe School were so vivid and so authentic, I wanted to hop on a plane and go live there! I'll definitely check out Saving Francesca soon.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206089874019184766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594502524570705142.post-49101530184639092612011-03-07T15:48:48.515-06:002011-03-07T15:48:48.515-06:00I've been wanting to read this book ever since...I've been wanting to read this book ever since I read Jellicoe Road, and now I might just have to actually do that!
