Very good story. The ending was beautiful, although I wish there was a little more about Mary towards the end, I feel like the author forgot about her being the main character.

It was on my classic list. I read it. That is all.

Oh how I wish I had read this as a child. I think it would have shaped me in the best way. I think it’s a life changing book - not in a big way but in lots of small ways. I mean to let it change me in so many small ways that perhaps it will not matter that I read it as an adult and not a child.

I think I actually absorbed maybe 70% of this; I'm very bad at listening to audiobooks. Struck by all the environmental racism as well as the really well-rounded, complex children in the novel. Hodgson-Burnett has a real talent for description, and her narrator has a charming personality and perspective that doesn't supercede the actual story. The audiobook narrator also did a great job.
