A review by barizley
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

3.0

5 stars for the story, 1 stars for the offensive language. This book has not aged well. I was eager to share one of my childhood favorites with my kids. Between the colonialism, racism, ableism, and frequent use of the word “queer” as a pejorative, I had to do a lot of pausing to explain, “This is not ok!”
