We're following Martha, now 8.5 years old and high time to grow out of childish things, according to her parents and new governess at least. Yet Martha still longs for the moors and is inquisitive about life outside of copywork and stitching.
I took a star off for Grisie. She's annoyingly snooty in this book too and only gets called out one time. She's almost as bad as governess number one, only I think she does love Martha deep down still, she just seems to hate the land and people of her upbringing. It's fine to have different goals or likes but there's no need to bag out where your currently at when there's nothing seriously wrong with it, it's just not her taste.
Love our Martha as always, just want to protect her youthful, kind and appreciative heart!
