Deirdre S. (DeirdreS) reviewed Miss Marjoribanks: Chronicles of Carlingford (Virago Modern Classics) on + 10 more book reviews
This is one of my favorite books. Miss Marjoribanks is a young lady with a great deal of confidence in her ability to arrange other people's lives for the better, but she is not a monster of egoism. If a plan fails, she ties a knot and moves on. If a suitor loves another, she will begin to plan their nuptials. Her better qualities become most apparent when she encounters real adversity.
