Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin

3.0

A nice light read set in the early 20th century about a widowed mother and her children (who seem to multiply as strays wonder by). Kate Douglas Wiggin has a taste for the florid while describing things, but she's got a sharp wit and a great admiration for women that shines in a bright proto-feminist manner. I liked it but I don't know if I'd pick the book up again. Maybe I'd watch the movie.
