It was a fashion magazine article about the way they did the clothes for the TV series, but I thought that might get a bit complicated, and the pictures looked fine for Lizzie's Mum so I just let it be. Very impressed that you got it in one....Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-62764524381843249622015-10-20T00:18:33.774+01:002015-10-20T00:18:33.774+01:00I think this is Mel Martin from Love for Lydia, 19...I think this is Mel Martin from Love for Lydia, 1977.<br />Can't wait to read Love, Nina and then maybe Man at the Helm.

Maybe I notice it because one side of my family has hazel eyes of all types, more blue or green or brown, and the other side has dark brown eyes.

It was always a key part of descriptions in books, and is seen as a very bad sign (inattention or lack of interest) if people don't remember eye colour, and I have to plead guilty.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-15089030717827631622014-10-12T04:32:18.769+01:002014-10-12T04:32:18.769+01:00I've seen people with green eyes.

The book is very very good - though not for everyone. But the child's viewpoint is exceptionally well done.

And I can well imagine that there is some harshness underneath the wit. I'm glad to hear that you weren't disappointed in the novel.
