About this audiobook
Polly Milton, a 14-year-old country girl, visits her friend Fanny Shaw and her wealthy family in the city for the first time. Poor Polly is overwhelmed by the splendor at the Shaws' and their urbanized, fashionable lifestyles, fancy clothes and some other habits she considers weird and, mostly, unlikable. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win her the hearts of all the family members. Six years later, Polly comes back to the city to become a music teacher.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Can't go wrong with LMA. Her writing is a fascinating product of the time, and I suppose her own raising. At times prudishly "old fashioned" indeed in its ideas about the woman's role in the home, this book is simultaneously quite modern and progressive in ways we can still learn from about the woman's role (and rights) in societ
Plus: ROMANCE! (because the author knew what her readers REALLY wanted, and was just sliding the rest of her commentary and moralizing in along with it).
The narrator in this version suited the story better than the other librovox version available here.
