I suspect that you would find Six to Sixteen adorable all the way through, so if you ever stumble upon a copy you should treat yourself.
Alternately - there's a used bookstore near my place that has a copy (unless someone has bought it but it would be too cruel if someone bought my obscure book). Would you like me to procure it for you? (I knew there would be a day when I could return the favor for those Ngaio Marsh books! And also book exchanges seem like a v. Six to Sixteen thing to do.)
I am having a bit of trouble telling the characters apart in The Summer Before the War, so I wouldn't say it's as good as all that, no. Possibly I'm just not paying it enough attention? I feel that I ought to be able to tell characters apart without giving it special thought, though, unless I'm reading something like War and Peace that has 500 characters, and also I didn't like W&P that much in the end either and possibly the difficulty of keeping track of the characters is why.
