I wouldn't want to re-read Hill today. I do want to read more of the Lorings Emily Jane sent me, though.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-66834761172107085562015-05-20T20:59:23.706-04:002015-05-20T20:59:23.706-04:00I do remember a whack at Hill, which sadly I thoug...I do remember a whack at Hill, which sadly I thought was dreadful. Very inspie in tone, and the heroine going off with a perfect stranger struck me as idiocy disguised as adorable innocence.willafulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201963128584310884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-37971401117985850742015-05-20T20:20:06.732-04:002015-05-20T20:20:06.732-04:00If we can believe my TBR Challenge read: post-WWII...If we can believe my TBR Challenge read: post-WWII they called PTSD "battle fatigue." Which just makes it sound like you didn't get enough sleep the night before and now you need an extra cup of coffee to perk up!<br /><br />It's fun to go back and revisit these old favorites. I never read Loring myself, I suspect because I didn't come from a family of women who sat around recommending books to each other. I seem to recall my grandmother reading Loring? But the memory is hazy now.....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-38128649561469109322015-05-20T15:59:16.859-04:002015-05-20T15:59:16.859-04:00Oh my!

My sweet old auntie was a big fan of Emilie Loring and Grace Livingston Hill, and tried to get me to read them when I was in 7th grade, but my mom had a prejudice against these types of book (never learned why). I remember elevator operators and telephone switchboards. How I wish I'd listened to my aunt and not my mom. Great review!
