A review by quietjenn
The Flowering Thorn by Margery Sharp

4.0

I like Margery Sharp so much that I'm making myself ration the books out at a respectable interval. They witty and smart and emotional without being cloying or melodramatic and twee. In this one, a bored society girl adopts a young boy on a whim and must then retreat to the country to begrudgingly (kind of) raise him. Of course, she finds that it's really where she belongs but there's absolutely none of the sentimentality in it, as you'd get with so many other writers.
