A review by nicoleankenmann
Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter
4.0
Audiobook: 06hr 19m
The charm of this novel surprised me. The main character is so sweet-natured, kind-hearted, and relentlessly optimistic that I understand how her name became associated with a rose-coloured-glasses-type airhead. She isn't that, though. She's a young girl who, in the face of a cruel world, is determined to find and share the silver linings. It is determination, not naivete that keeps a smile on her face.
I find myself admiring that.
