This was not the lighthearted romp I expected, with scrappy kids living joyously free of adult rule. Instead our protagonist Susan had to balance cooking all the meals and doing the washing, mending, and cleaning with going to school and managing the adults in her community who wanted to break up the family, keeping "Orphanages, Homes, and Adoptions" at bay. Still, I loved this book and imagine I'd have loved it more as a child. Highly recommend!

Starting this month's #PersephonePick tonight and loving it. I'm sad I didn't read this when I was a kid (I already predict it would have been a favorite), but glad to be reading it now! Thank you, #PersephoneBooks. ❤️ #Persephone

LeahBergen I‘m glad to hear it‘s good! This is going to be one of the next Persephones I order. 👍🏻 3y
