I was missing the Alps, so picked up my copy of Heidi, which I bought second hand several years ago, and haven't read in a very long time. The descriptions of the Alps and its cheeses were great reminders of our time in Grenoble. I was able to much better picture their home and herding life after having visited a museum about traditional Alpine life. But I'd forgotten about the heavily religious overtones and embarrassingly simplistic characters. Not sure I'm going to re-read this one again.
