That Lass O' Lowrie's | Frances Hodgson Burnett
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Life in the Lancashire village of Riggan is dominated by the coal pit, for it not only provides employment for most of the villagers, but it is also the focus for most of the communities hopes and fears. Joan Lowrie, a pit girl who has endured many hardships herself, comes to the rescue of seventeen-year-old Liz and her baby.

Ultimately to my surprise, I enjoyed this novel quite a lot. At first I was annoyed by its difficult dialect and in-your-face religion, but the surprisingly strong and complex female characters really won me over. The ending was too abrupt and there was a TON of eye-rolling melodrama, but overall pretty good. Note: The edition I have is so weird! It is a huge trim size and has no page numbers! Bizarre.
