This review is from: Wishing for Tomorrow (Audio CD)
I didn't realize this was an audio book when I requested it through the Vine program, but I enjoyed it so much I will be looking for additional audio books soon.The long awaited sequel to "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, "Wishing for Tomorrow" tells the story of Ermengarde, Lavinia, Lottie, Jessica, and Gertrude after Sara Crewe leaves Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies. Sara's sudden good fortune has an impact on most of the young ladies at Miss Minchin's, but perhaps the most impact on Miss Minchin, herself. While Ermengarde struggles to deal with the loss of her best friend, Lavinia is once again the leader of the girls and eager to find ways to improve her life. The new red-headed boy from the house next door seems to be into as much mischief as young Lottie, and they welcome a new maid named Alice, whose sharp tongue and constant threat to leave and return home to Epping, adds many memorable moments to the story. I have not read "A Little Princess", but after listening to "Wishing for Tomorrow", I am eager to own it. McKay has brought to life for me a cast of young ladies with their unique and quirky guardians, who I am curious to know more about. Each character adds so much to the story that I can't imagine it without any of them. In addition, Justine Eyre did an excellent job narrating this story, allowing each character's personality to shine through. I will certainly be listening to "Wishing for Tomorrow" again. |
