I've had a hankering to reread this wonderful little novel lately. I was able to download it to my phone for free, and I enjoyed every sentence! It's a sweet story that takes place near the beginning of the 20th century. It's quaint in how men and women are depicted. It's a story told in letters, and the growth of the letter-writer is evident and enjoyable.
I vaguely remember seeing the movie that was made from this book years ago. I believe I enjoyed it...Then, quite a few years ago, for my birthday, Leonard asked my friends to give me a book they loved. My friend Sally Palmer gave me this book. She thought I would enjoy it and she was right. It recalls a simpler time and unfolds around the delightful character of an orphan. Her transformation in a women's college is just plain fun to observe. The literary device of having her benefactor be mysterious and become her confidante really enhances the story. Well worth the read. Very uplifting. Just plain good and wholesome!!!
