A review by bookpossum
Crusoe's Daughter by Jane Gardam

4.0

I have discovered Jane Gardam only relatively recently, and love her spare and elegant style.

I enjoyed this book very much. The young orphan cared for very kindly by her comparatively elderly aunts, who knows almost nothing of the real world and shares much of her life with her hero, Robinson Crusoe. Despite her reclusive life, it is for her full of rich incidents as she lives through most of the tumultuous 20th century.

Highly recommended.
