" Finished this book in the middle of the night countering a bout of rain-induced insomnia. Rose is the youngest of the eccentric Casson family (and what English family in literature isn't eccentric?) 8-year old Rose has no real life of her own outside her art, but is completely immersed in outside lives of her 3 siblings issues without them really noticing. This is both the strength and weakness of this book. McKay shows the complexity of family life, particularly how one sibling relates to another siblings friends. But unfortunately, the book doesn't stand alone very well. I read the first in the series, Saffy's Angel, but missed Indigo blue, and found myself a little in the dark at points, speculating as to what must have happened in the previous book. But at least I have something to look forward to. "
