This review is from: The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne (Kindle Edition)
I've become a Kathleen Thompson Norris fan. The book is very well written, and is not hard for readers of today to "get into". The story is humorous, poignant, and heart warming. It tackles social questions from the early 1900's, and surprisingly is still relevant today. Her writing style somewhat reminds me of Rosamunde Pilcher's...great descriptions so that you can almost smell a flower, feel the breeze on your face, etc.
"The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne" is about a young widow who returns to a small California town in order to raise her children in simplicity. Her ideas seem fairly radical to the reigning elite of the town, and this leads to some interesting developments as everyone knows that Mrs. Burgoyne has millions of dollars so must be respected. She also reestablishes her friendship with the local town "boy most likely to succeed", who didn't live up to the town's expectations. Although this book isn't advocating women's lib, it really seems to be an early "girl power" kind of story. I'm going to re-read it soon.
