Crit Based On Books When Marnie Was There
I loved this book. It's a story of a really relatable young girl Anna who is having a super hard time. She gets sent to a washed up but beautifully described Norfolk village and finds friendship. There are also some interesting light fantasy elements.The part that got me is how misunderstood the main character Anna is. She's quiet and hurting, just trying to get by, but because she's so withdrawn and lonely, everyone seems to think she's rude. I really relate to that from when I was a kid, wow.

This was my absolute favourite book as a child. A really beautiful story about a lonely girl who learns to make friends with the help of another girl, who comes through time to help her. Beautifully written. Absolutely superb.

Last year, I marathoned all Studio Ghibli movies and 'When Marnie Was There' is also one of their works. Back then, I didn't know it's based on a book but I picked it up as soon as I found out because let's face it, all of us love comparing the book to the movie.

Quite by chance, I read about this book somewhere in connection with the Japanese film to be made from it. The book itself, a British children's novel, was published in 1967. It is a quiet, mysterious little book about a lonely little girl, living for the summer with an older couple, foster parents, at the British seaside. She is something of a misfit and is given a lot of freedom to roam the shore alone. She is fascinated with an old house, which appears to be uninhabited, near the water's

Here began my love of reading

I watched the movie about two years ago, but only just got around to reading the book. I really liked the writing; it was easy to get lost in the story. The book is somewhat different than the movie, and I liked the book version better. Even though I already knew how the storyline was going to wrap up, I still felt the waves of emotion, and really had vested interest in Annas journey and wanted her to find happiness. I think this wouldve been a favorite read if I had found it as a young

This strange yet wonderful little book was filled with mysteries all the way through. Is Marnie an imaginary friend? A ghost? A human girl? This question is what leads the main character searching for her long-lost friend and what makes this book certainly worth reading.
