Book Review of The Staircase

The Staircase
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


Rinaldi writes fiction from history, so this is a historical novel, and it's very well done. She is an expert is this type of fiction, I believe, having done several in this genre. This story of a young girl who matures through losing a family member and then living in a girls' Catholic boarding school is well-written and enduring. I recommend it to young adults and adults.
