caitlin_89 's review for:

Life in the Iron Mills by Rebecca Harding Davis
3.0

School read. One passage made me cry. I may just be crying from exhaustion at this point, though.
Yay for Davis being ahead of her time with the whole Realism thing.
Super heavy-handed and didactic. A little Dickensian, now that I think about it.
Lot of Biblical and color imagery.
Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. Yay American Lit.
