Quentin Blake's History of Cambridge
"It happened just around what would have been Thanksgiving. Home was, no doubt, drenched in crackling, flashy leaves. England does the season differently. Students at Cambridge are discouraged from having cars, so autumn comes with a flurry of bicycles. Leaves barely bother to brown before falling listlessly--the bikes make up for that in their number, variety, and motion. They swirl everywhere, as if blown into little cyclones by the wind."
"The story takes place at Cambridge University, and I liked seeing this area through the eyes of each character. I felt that the setting of this novel was critical; and at times, I thought it was described so vividly that it became another character. I especially liked seeing the different impressions of the town based on the different characters -- an American girl, a blind woman, a young man who'd spent his whole life there, etc. Ms. Winslow did a great job showing the many sides of Cambridge, and it's apparent that she truly knows the University."
