Good Morning Miss Dove
I last read this book when I was sixteen, and in the upper fifth at school. I was looking forward to reading it again, as I have always remembered how much I enjoyed it at the time. Miss Dove is an institution at Cedar Grove School - a career teacher at a time when, at least at my girl's grammar school, ALL teachers were single, scary and dedicated to their careers. Sadly, with the passing of time, I found it was actually a bit too slow and tame for me. The story of Miss Dove, and her impending illness, captured me with a short story quality, but the anecdotes of the WASP small town school children, both past and present, I found rather 'American'. Difficult to score as it was very well written. I think 6/10
