A delightful and fresh prose mingles with an epistolary style, which exposes in a witty and elegant way, the feelings of Emily, the book's heroine.
With reminiscences of great classics such as Jane Eyre of Henry Jame's "Portrait of a Lady", the novel finds a voice of its own resulting in an original but with a kind of homecoming taste that makes the story unconsciously appealing to the reader.
But what I most valued of the novel is the way it deals with different subjects efficiently and with exquisite grace. Far from the typical coming of age novel, the story deals with much more, such as the right of a young woman in the XIXth century to be free and independent, to have a right to express her mind and to be rewarded by seeing her emerging stronger and wiser with each foe overcome.
I also loved the epilogue, which stands out for its unusuality in comparison to the romantic classics, it gives the book this unique and outstanding touch.
An author to be considered for further reading, that's for sure.
