I’m excited to read this as I LOVE the 2004 movie adaptation. It’s going to be a long haul but I’m ready for one of those :)

Interesting that the author used 7 character names from Jane Eyre when recounting the main characters past in the foster system.

Of course, Alcott had read Gaskell ❤️

“How does the new book come on?” asked Polly, sucking and orange in public with a composure which would have scandalized the good ladies of “Cranford”. 😂

“Yes, she could do that; and with a very earnest prayer, Polly asked for the strength of an upright soul, the beauty of a tender heart, the power to make her life a sweet and stirring song, helpful while it lasted, remembered when it died.”

“When you feel out of sorts, try to make someone else happy, and you will soon be so yourself.”

True words of wisdom!
