I think joining goodreads was a million times more beneficial to me than facebook, as I am now connected with so many books and so many people who take pleasure in reading!
I think Danvers started the fire.My reasoning is that she took all of her things, she was the only one to do so. I bet she did it because she knew there was going to be a fire and wanted to keep her possessions. Plus she and Jack were quite loyal to Rebecca, so they were probably plotting something, in case Maxim wasn't put in jail, hence FIRE.
Then again, it's all open to interpretation!
This is YA, I read it in Middle School and it made me cry like a baby: What Child Is This? A Christmas Story by Caroline B. Cooney. OMG what a sob fest. Then again, I had a tender heart back then. :-)
I actually really like this book so far. I like the way Du Maurier describes things, i.e. "We have both known fear, and loneliness, and very great distress. I suppose sooner or later in the life of everyone comes a moment of trial. We all of us have our particular devil who rides us and torments us, and we must give battle in the end." - pg. 9 in my copy.I really think her prose is delicious.
125. Lighting Their Fires Raising Extraordinary Children in a Mixed-up, Muddled-up, Shook-up World by Rafe Esquith
