Book description

Why read it?
1 author picked The Eye of Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Okay, this is really three novels, but they’re all linked, and all fascinating. Martha, the orphan, is offbeat, often unlikeable, and yet one of the most compelling characters you’re likely to find in fiction. Though Sharp is best known for The Rescuers and its sequels, this series is in a whole different universe, and definitely not for young readers. (By the way, they’re also very funny.)
From Gary's list on about orphans not written by Horatio Alger.
