Synopsis: |

My Thoughts: |
I am not rating this because its an unfinished piece and only 26 pages long. The story had potential and I would have liked to have read the full thing. But since that didn't happen, well, I just don't feel comfortable rating this.
I do have to wonder if Frances Hodgson Burnett read this before writing A Little Princess. The main difference, if I remember correctly, is that the girl in Burnett's book is a capable, upbeat and positive girl. Emma here seems sulky and shy and not of the best character.
On second thought, it's probably just as well there isn't more to read. I know that Bronte would drag her readers through the wringer.
