Interpretation Conducive To Books That Lass O'Lowrie's

This is my first official review of anything on the internet. Frances Hodgson Burnett's first novel is a treasure.

I have already read her two most famous books: A Little Princess and also The Secret Garden. I was amazed by both books. The prose like quality of her writing swept me away. I was hooked and hoped that she had written more than just those two books.

I was thrilled to discover that she had written MANY more books! My plan is to read them all!

That Lass of O'Lowrie's is written from a Christian perspective. This is a story of redemption. It is a very cleverly told story with a culture unlike any I've ever read about before. It captured my interest at page one! There are two very distinct groups of people in this story. The author gives us a view of what daily life is like for these people. The struggles and triumphs involved whenever two groups of people struggle to live in the same place.

The only thing that makes this book less than a perfect delight to read is the way some of the characters in the story speak. The dialect is sometimes hard to understand. I believe now upon reading the entire book that the author did this for a reason.

Having to struggle at times for understanding makes the reader more actively engaged with the story and in so doing the reader better understands why there is such a difficulty for these two groups of people to understand one another. I found that as the story went on it became easier for me to understand their speaking style. Which is often true in life when two groups are in the process of resolving conflicts and creating understanding. I just had to get over my initial frustration with not understanding every word and instead focus on my desire to understand rather than my annoyance.

I am curious now more than ever to read other books written by such an amazing author!

Evaluate Based On Books That Lass O'Lowrie's
Late Victorian glurge. I adore late Victorian glurge, but I don't fool myself about it.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's first book, which was inspired by her childhood memories of seeing pit girls in Manchester. At first it was hard to read the northern accent, but soon I recognized what words the abbreviations and spellings represented. Although a different industry, it reminded me at times of Gaskell's North and South. Hodgson Burnett's book is a close look at a mining district and the lives of those working there, and a romance.

Read as a teenager (got a copy from my grandparents, I believe). Yes, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote adult novels too. Interesting characters, but I do remember struggling a bit with the dialect. Joan is a young woman who works as a pit miner and works hard to better her situation. I remember really rooting for her, and hating her abusive father.

One of Burnett's earliest novels, it seemed remarkable to me in that it makes some effort to depict the lives of female miners, which I've never seen before in a novel of the period. It has a very Cinderella-like happy ending, but it felt like the character earned it, so I didn't mind. All in all, I really enjoyed this one.

Che cosa non si fa, pur di leggere un bel libro in lingua originale! Si recuperano copie antiche, si scaricano su Kindle riproduzioni quasi illeggibili... oppure, come in questo caso, ci si rompe la testa a capire dialoghi scritti nel dialetto del Lancashire. Ma davvero ne è valsa la pena: è un ritratto a tinte forti di una società che lascia poco spazio alle donne, scritto da una donna che, quando occorre, sa anche usare l'ironia. Avevo letto, di Patricia Gaffney, "Forever and Ever", ambientato

Valutazione 3,5Una delle prime opere di Frances H. Burnett, un romanzo sociale di grande interesse per l'argomento trattato e con un personaggio femminile molto particolare che al di là di una certa rudezza dovuta alle circostanze della vita, nasconde una sorprendente dolcezza e sensibilità che colpiscono molto il lettore. La sua storia è amara ma, la sua forza, l'orgoglio, la sua dignità, il desiderio di elevarsi anche per essere all'altezza dell'uomo che l'ama e che protegge a rischio della
