Eustace and Hilda (Eustace and Hilda, #1-3):
"So what's this about? The close relationship between a brother and sister. This is not something I can relate to in my own family. The strength of this book is found in the author's ability to make their relationship come alive for me, and individual"

“You don't believe that your friend could ever do anything great. You despise yourself in secret, even – no, especially – when you stand on your dignity; and since you despise yourself, you are unable to respect your friend.
