Containing a sub-plot which is the premise for the real "Star of Kazan", the book is beautifully written with Eva Ibbotson's classic style and passion. It takes a rather clichéd descriptions but they gives it new depths. Use some examples to elaborate your points of view on it.
A subplot is a secondary plot strand that is a supporting side story for any story or the main plot. Subplots may connect to main plots, in either time and place or in thematic significance. Subplots often involve supporting characters, those besides the main characters in the story.
An old lady who Annika befriended in the last days of her life leaves the girl a trunk of imitation jewels but they never arrive. Having made friends with Zed, a half-gypsy servant boy, the two of them find the trunk on a beach and the twists of the story start to unfold.

1. Although the heroine is a girl and there is a tiny hint of romance here, this is suitably intriguing有魅力地to work as a story that would appeal to both boys and girls. Why?
Who do you think Annika is more fond of: Stefan or Zed?
2. Why and how does Pauline affect the destiny of Annika?
