Just that, really :)

Have just "bought" it even though I have got a paperback copy.

It has gone up to £2 today - had a look on Amazon. Probably worth watching to see if they do another price drop at a later date.

It's probably simply not free any more. Often these things are limited time only offers.

It's £2.

Am I looking in the wrong place????

Thank you OP. I read this book for GCSE English, and loved it. Looking forward to reading it again. Digressing here,but I was taken by the name Harper and when DD (5) was born, I suggested it to DH for her name. He also liked the book, but said that his preference was Scout. We agreed to disagree and picked an unrelated name Grin

Yes, the lawsuit was "settled" in September last year. I googled as I assumed she had died! I'm guessing it didn't settle completely in her favour if it has been released on kindle.

lettertoherms I just got it for free on US Amazon (but my account is registered as being in Ireland as initially we could only use US Amazon so I don't know if that makes a difference and I'm also currently in NZ to possibly complicate matters)

I'm off to pootle about and see if anything else interesting is free with all the spare time I have for reading

Darn, not on US amazon. Oh well, I have the paperback.

OwlCapone I'm not sure she is. She very recently went through a lawsuit - basically, her fucking bastard "agent" scammed her out of her copyright and royalties when she was very poorly due to having had a stroke. It was sorted out in her favor in September. He'd had control since 2007.

Sirzy - you may be able to return it for a refund and then get the free copy. Annoying when they do price drops but I have read of others returning and rebuying at the cheaper price.

It makes me cautious of paying too much for a book in case it's reduced to 99p next day Grin

It was only released on kindle a few days back. I paid for it, but never mind I love the book and my paperback version has been well read over the years
