That makes a lot of sense to me. I'll own the print copy in... 3 days? I think Amazon.de said they were going to ship it to me on the 8th. I'm sure to compare to what I read in the manuscript - but I might not read all the way through for a while, true. I have to be in a calm state of mind to read books like this, because of the cost involved to the girls (and the World War IIness, of course).
When I was a kid and YA, I had already been reading adventure novels with grown-up heroes for years (and of course lots of books with child heroes) so I really didn't care about the age of the protagonists much as long as I could relate to them. I'm still happy reading certain kinds of school shoujo romance manga, after all.
On the other hand I am NOT going out of my way to read books about people who are 30 years older than me, and their aches and ailments. Hmm.
