In Chapter 7, Polly ends her long visit with the Shaw family and heads on back home. This book was a godsend, filling in all those historical gaps which helped me to understand the context of this book, and all of Louisa May Alcott’s writing (I will be writing more about this book when I finish it). What brought me back in was a combination of listening to chapters at work (thanks to Librivox), and the discovery of Victorian Domesticity – Families in the Life and Art of Louisa May Alcott by Charles Strickland at the Concord Free Public Library. I have to admit that the book lost me somewhere in the middle, before the story transitioned into Polly’s adult life. I have already written a few posts about this book which you can find here. Cover design by Kathryn Delaney, Painting by Edmund Blair Leighton, The Pink Bonnetīetter late than never, I finally finished An Old-Fashioned Girl ! And I have lots to say about it through several posts in the next few days.
