Frances Hodgeson Burnett is my absolute favorite author. I knew going into this that she was going to be a reflection of my childhood because I feel that connection with her for whatever reason...
And sure enough there are echoes of my childhood, scene to scene may I add, in this book. The whole story with the big books and their wonder that she fails to understand until some time is exactly something that happened to me.
You can see the seeds of some of her other books like the secret garden or a little princess within her in this book
The writing is absolutely gorgeous, especially at the end when she describes those fields, she's a real cottagecore at heart, and I just- just loved every word she wrote.. The way it flows, and I imagine myself in those mountains
Ahh what a beautiful life to live, though of course she had her hardships too no doubt, but still!!!
