i'm a little sad about this one, because i am a big fan of a girl of limberlost - elnora and phillip are particularly admirable people and yeah, they're excessively good, but they're lovably so.
this particular character rubbed me the wrong way - was kate meant to actually be someone to be admired? or maybe the moral is good things happen to faulty people too, i guess? because kate's excessive pride pretty much asserts itself in the worst way possible at multiple points in the book but kate seems to... not realize or notice? i'm not actually sure.

After reading "The Harvester" last Spring I picked up this book assuming, from its title, that it would be as gloriously filled with Gene Stratton-Porter's deeply beautiful descriptions of trees, flowers, and growing things, just as all of that was blooming outside in April. Well she expounded very little on nature (besides that of human). First of all, the story is about a young woman and I never can make myself like the leading lady in Gene Stratton-Porter's books! I much prefer her books with a virtuous male protagonist.

I only got half way finished before I had to return it to ACPL. I did hear the ending of it however, and will for sure read it again in it's entirety.
