Such a good book about what we can learn from women on literature. Well written and arranged.

Mary Riso explores the Hearts of the heroines made famous in Literary classics. Sadly I have not read all the books listed here. I'm most familiar with Jane (Jane Eyre), Anne (Persuasion), Kitty (Anna Karenina), Elizabeth (Pride and Prejudice), and Mary (The Secret Garden). The other books that I will read are: Natasha (War and Peace), Lucy (The Chronicles of Narnia & Perelandra), Bobbie (The Railway Children), Betsey (David Copperfield), Pauline (Descent into Hell), Psyche (Till We Have Faces), Celia (The Cocktail Party), Julia (Brideshead revisited), Alice (Can You you forgive her) and Lucie in (A Tale of Two Cities). I will post more as I read the other books.
