Not a great book with endless depth, but it has some good lessons about life and people. Not a tremendously laugh-out-loud book, but it produces its share of chuckles. Its strength is the characters — Miss Perfidy, who remembers things that never happened; Uncle Jack, who plans on turning Coal Harbour into a tourist town; Miss Honeycut, who's full of anecdotes about her titled relatives in England. And Primrose herself, who refuses to believe her parents are dead — she just knows without knowing how she knows — and keeps losing parts of her body around town. Each chapter ends with a recipe of some type.
