This is the coming of age story of Bessie Fairfax. A story about a girl who learns to see the world is it is and navigate in it. This is a vivid and charming story by Harriet Parr, who wrote under the pseudonym of Holm Lee. She was a best selling author in her days, admired even by Charles Dickens. Her descriptions of the English town, which was fast disappearing due to the industrial revolution, reminds one of novels by Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. - Summary by Stav Nisser.

Nice, but nothing special

Nice story about a girl who preferred her provincial calm lifestyle to the lifestyle in higher society of rich. It isn't a bad book, but there was nothing captivating for me in it.
