Reviews

[Patrizia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Delicato, appassionante romanzo vittoriano. La giovane protagonista corrisponde al tipo amato da Mrs Alexander, caratterizzato da ingenua franchezza, ma anche da un deciso spirito d'indipendenza. Tra i personaggi minori, il sarcastico ritratto di Miss Macallan, che impersona il prototipo della rigida donna d'affari scozzese, potrebbe essere considerato "politicamente scorretto" se la Scozia non fosse la patria d'origine della stessa autrice.
