This is an incredible book. Poor Cornelia is suffering from being the daughter of famous parents and not wanting to be compared to her accomplished mother. Her mother is gone a lot on tour. No father in the picture; just a French nanny. It was wonderful to watch (read) as a young girl, with the assistance of a wise next-door-neighbor who tells marvelous stories, works through her fears and insecurities. Cornelia and her mother finally come to understand each other. I do wish there had been a little more resolution about the absent father. I will admit that I cried at the end of the book.
