Yes, this book is old fashioned. And a bit preachy. It reminded me of reading Louisa May Alcott - interesting and developed characters that transcend the moral perspective of the author and live in your memory. I really enjoyed this book (and I'll admit that I find the moral universe appealing and somehow comforting).

It's rare to find a book that tells the entire life story of a single character rather than just alluding to her past. I thought it would be dull, but it gave me such an understanding of Sylvia and her family that I understood every decision and every mistake she made. And when the end of the book came around, I was so thrilled at her happiness because I knew everything she overcame to get there. Dorothy Canfield Fisher is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
