A very sad and sometimes funny story about Francesca, a 16 year old girl whose mum (it's Australian) won't get out of bed. Meanwhile, dear Fran is starting out at an all boys school that has just started allowing girls to matriculate. There are four girls and a million obnoxious beasts who tease them and call them "lezzies." It's better than I'm making it sound--I nearly cried at the end.

Obviously i have not read every page. But i refer to it on occasion to read and re-read some of my favourite poetry. A very comprehensive set, which took me AGES to save up for, and my course was only 6 months from finishing by the time i got my own copies. Ah well. Money well spent. I keep returning to those wonderful Romantics, particularly Keats and Shelley (or is that Sheets and Kelley??), and Blake. I also love Tennyson, and the Pre-Raphaelites--though I don't think there is enough Pre-Raphaelite content in the Norton because of the prodigious literary output of the Victorian period.
