A review by elysareadsitall
Charlotte Temple and Lucy Temple by Susanna Haswell Rowson
4.0
If you want a sassy narrator, read this book. This pair of novellas is packed with intrigue and questions of duty and morality. The character development isn't deep, but I found it appropriate to the length and the books and enjoyable.
The novellas are a direct response to conduct books of the day meant to teach young girls how to act. While the stories do align with those teachings, I did feel the author was poking fun at them as well.
It's a nice, quick read. I think it could spark some lively discussion. I definitely recommend it for anyone who likes classic material.
