Samantha is one of the American Girls I remember reading about when I was little. But after reading this, I clearly didn't remember anything other than that she lived in Victorian America with her Grandmother. This was fine but very simplistically written. The only indication that the lives of servants weren't amazing was a little note at the end. I think a little more nuance couldn't have hurt here.
