What 'kind' don't we need round here?
Writers?
Adopted children?
Oxbridge graduates?
People with a high media profile, both nationally, and internationally?
Ginger haired folk?

I also think Thindle may be alluding to what you have deliberately missed out, Garinda!
Oranges rates as one of my favourite books and I have read it many times over the years -the drammatisation I have on VHS and it is brilliantly acted and captures Accy in the period perfectly, just as I remember it. Wish i had her talent for writing.
