Melina and Francesca

27 01 2007

I have just finished Melina Marcetta’s Saving Francesca, a book for Year 10 English, and I enjoyed much more than I thought I would.

I’ll talk more about the book later but for now I just wanted to mention some valuable links both about the book and the author.

The Teacher’s Guide – covers the story, the style of writing and the themes.
