Whilst watching Jeremy Paxman striding around Highgate cemetery in The Victorians I had a sudden flashback to a book I have read but I can't get enough back to remember it properly IYSWIM.
The book begins I think in a cemetery with a boy whose father is the gravedigger - he helps him and at some point in the book the child falls into one of the graves and can't get out again? He meets a girl who is from a wealthier background - I think she is a mourner at a funeral -and a friendship of sorts develops although I have an idea there is something odd about her. I get stuck here - have no idea about the rest of the book but its driving me mad- like waking up and trying to capture a dream.
Put me out of my misery!
