A review by meg_wadlington
The Methods Of Lady Walderhurst by Frances Hodgson Burnett

3.0

There was a warning at the beginning of the book that the editors had kept the content in it's original form, not editing for political correctness. So, you get some of the language regarding people from India and people of color in general. However, it was much more open minded than other books written at the time. Also, many of the characters are horribly sexist (even though it's written by a women). It ends up being a sweet story overall, but lacks the wonderful quality of some of her other works.


Second reading: a lot of the sexism is tongue in cheek. It is a book of its time. But, I still love her writing. I enjoy re reading her when I need something soothing.
