Rendition To Books That Lass O'Lowrie's

This is my first official review of anything on the internet. Frances Hodgson Burnett's first novel is a treasure.

I have already read her two most famous books: A Little Princess and also The Secret Garden. I was amazed by both books. The prose like quality of her writing swept me away. I was hooked and hoped that she had written more than just those two books.

I was thrilled to discover that she had written MANY more books! My plan is to read them all!

That Lass of O'Lowrie's is written from a Christian perspective. This is a story of redemption. It is a very cleverly told story with a culture unlike any I've ever read about before. It captured my interest at page one! There are two very distinct groups of people in this story. The author gives us a view of what daily life is like for these people. The struggles and triumphs involved whenever two groups of people struggle to live in the same place.

The only thing that makes this book less than a perfect delight to read is the way some of the characters in the story speak. The dialect is sometimes hard to understand. I believe now upon reading the entire book that the author did this for a reason.

Having to struggle at times for understanding makes the reader more actively engaged with the story and in so doing the reader better understands why there is such a difficulty for these two groups of people to understand one another. I found that as the story went on it became easier for me to understand their speaking style. Which is often true in life when two groups are in the process of resolving conflicts and creating understanding. I just had to get over my initial frustration with not understanding every word and instead focus on my desire to understand rather than my annoyance.

I am curious now more than ever to read other books written by such an amazing author!

Rate About Books That Lass O'Lowrie's

I really loved this book, although it really was vastly different from FHB's usual style and tropes. The main romance is but one of many interweaving plot threads, featuring a wide variety of characters, and fully illustrating the small mining town setting.The multiple accents are perfectly captured by the reader of this audiobook, in addition to giving each character a distinctive voice.

Burnett is always a guarantee

Read as a teenager (got a copy from my grandparents, I believe). Yes, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote adult novels too. Interesting characters, but I do remember struggling a bit with the dialect. Joan is a young woman who works as a pit miner and works hard to better her situation. I remember really rooting for her, and hating her abusive father.

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.

A lovely little book and one which it has taken me far too many years to get around to reading. My daughters have loved it for years. even from the time we lived in Lancashire ourselves. Having not lived there for 14 years the dialect was a bit of a challenge but the lovely tale repaid the effort.
