She starts like a shrew: sequestering herself in her grandmother’s house, but as time passes she start feeling restless. She went through a true transformation! From this:Īnd what a story that transformation was!!! So when I started this book I couldn’t believe that I would end liking her! But that exactly what happened! I almost rejoiced with all that befell her! That’s how much she was odious! She was so full of herself! She thought she was better than anybody else. In the previous book Camille was soooo odious and I disliked her very, very much! She treated Anna like dirt under her slippered feet.
