lynnenad 's review for:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
3.0
hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A charming tale that recognises the power of nature and joy to heal. Neatly sidesteps the awkward question of differing religious beliefs. Reads as a surprisingly modern children’s book although it’s not.
