Entertaining, but not the real story
Reviewed: 04-04-21
I should have read the reviews. I thought I was getting the actual book. Instead, I decided to set aside the book and just go along for the ride. Turned out to be an entertaining and enjoyable ride!

Story
Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She's a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the other woman with the same name has vanished, and pretending to be her just might get Clara some money to send back home.

A very fake story within a very real time
Reviewed: 02-06-21
While, an easy and enjoyable read, the story is so far fetched that I'm not sure how well it fits within such a real time. Historical fantasy.

Story
Claudine is the prettiest, smartest and wildest girl in her class. A mischievous 15-year-old who delights in rollicking through the dusty corridors of a parochial school in provincial France, Claudine manipulates her less-astute classmates and her feeble-minded professors. This vivid, honest portrait of adolescent life in turn-of-the-century Montigny was shocking to some readers when it first appeared. Today the novel still sparkles with the freshness and edge that excited readers almost 100 years ago.

modernized retelling
Reviewed: 08-26-19
I started this book from the library, but ran out of time. So, I broke down and bought the audible for speed. My last day with the book I tried to follow along with the book to get myself used to the performance. It was almost impossible. The translation that I read seemed more the authentic, historic and European. This audible version had completely changed the structure and words in the sentences! Very American minus characters names. Very disappointed with this translation.
