@chai2,
Two in a row, I'm chuffed, (and I had to google Spanax, don't know if it's an American or a women's thing.)

She fell for the wrong man and ended up hanging out in Winchester.

@chai2,
You haven't met my daughter.

Sorry neither are right. The author doesn't actually call the place Winchester, (which is real,) but Wintoncester, (which isn't.)

@izzythepush,
ok, I got it now.
I don't feel right about guessing it, since I had to not only look it up, but never read the book.

I give this to someone else.
