A review by bookmarvel
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

5.0

Same vibes as the first one, chill, the usual light drama, very comforting. I wasn’t sure if I had read this book before, even though I’ve known it existed for a long time, and I hadn’t but I really enjoyed it. Calpurnia still resists all efforts by her family to turn her into a proper young lady, and in this one she starts to earn and save her own money. Overall she becomes more mature and more confident in herself and she finds ways to get around her family to do things she wants to do and I’m glad to see it. She’s well on her way to busting up standards for women in the early 1900s and I’m sure she made a very good life for herself when she grew up.
