So begins this utterly charming and disarming story of Victoria's life so far. She is eight years of age, well beyond puberty for one of her kind, so though the book may be enjoyed by younger readers, only adults will appreciate the many levels on which her prose does its fecund work. Her pain at being struck down by SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), forcing her to retire to a tropical island called Madagascar, located in an upstairs bedroom; her vast joy in apples and almonds; the warmth she feels toward her family combined with her considerable self-knowledge and poise -- all make this a cathartic book that leaves an acorn in the throat and a smile on the face.Victoria is the author of 'Confessions of a Pot Bellied Pig' with ISBN 9780968864883 and ISBN 0968864880.
