Love Me Do by LESLEY DAVIES
When she first goes to boarding-school in the early 60s, Suzanne has only one real confidante- her hero, Albert Schweitzer, to whom she writes regularly but from whom she receives no reply. Her view of the world begins to change when she meets a boy who responds to her highly individual and sensitive nature.
