Joy is simply adorable, and John is great character as well.

At one point, they all put on an amateur performance of [b:Iolanthe|5475135|Iolanthe|W.S. Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327919217s/5475135.jpg|5542776], which made me very happy. Joy's poet grandfather is a satiric character, which is interesting considering Margaret Widdemer was a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet herself. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This ploy actually works, and she gets to spend the month with her wonderful friends. But John Hewitt almost immediately shows up, and the rest of the story goes from there.
It's a very sweet story. Not original--I'm afraid the plot is rather predictable! But I don't mind. Comparing it with some of my other favorite early-20th-century books, it's very, very well written. Occasionally funny, easy to get lost in but not overly intense. I will definitely be checking out more of Margaret Widdemer's books. ( )
