The Turn of the Tide Eleanor H Porter 9781406899498 Books
If you like sentimental, 19th c era, slightly feminist books with happy endings, this is a good book. There are so many negative associations with Pollyanna in the culture, that a person if half afraid to read Eleanor Porter. I thought, her books might be too sentimental, to pollyannaish :) -- But, have you read Pollyanna? Yes, it's sentimental, but it also looks the ugly world in the eye. After reading a handful of Porter's books, I notice a theme of the saintly orphan. Each character has a horrible loss, usually it's parents, and they rise above in an almost superhuman way. The main character of this book, Margaret, is a bit more three dimensional than other Porter characters. The storyline reveals the ugliness of child labor before it was outlawed. Plus, I think Porter is a good writer, there a some quite good poetic passages, and the revelation of plot events is timed with a certain punctuation of rhythm. It's kinda sappy, yes. But, I think it still holds up as a good read.Product details
