A review by drbetteridge
Miss Marjoribanks by Margaret Oliphant

3.0

I had many thoughts about Miss Marjoriebanks, the book, after finishing. The reoccurring humor reminded me a bit of Monty Python; exaggerated, eye-rolling, can't-help-but-laugh-because-they-dared-to-say-it-again kind of funny. I was caught off guard with a twist. I disliked the main character for her personality and patronizing treatment of people. I really wanted to know what she was going to do to get out of her jam, and then the ending just petered out- ready for a third installment, I believe. Yes, I enjoyed the book, just like I enjoy my grandkids, even knowing I'm going to have a mess to clean.
