A Little Princess finished

My aunt told me a story of how she and my little cousins were in the car and their tire went flat. She said she told the boys that when you're in this family you must learn to expect the unexpected! And my cousin Zach looked at her and said, "Mommy that is impossible."

But you know what is possible?

Expecting the expected. Which is exactly what occurred with me and this novel. Don't get me wrong I love a happy ending as much as the next girl and I'm always excited when the girl who deserves it gets it but sometimes it is a little disappointing. But the plot wasn't the point of the story.

The book's sleeve basically tells you the entirety of what occurs. The point of the story was for people to see someone they have the ability to be. It tries to inspire the best in people. It is kind of like Tuesday's With Morrie in that way. But this book feels more distant because of the time as well as knowing that it never actually happened.

On a different note, I was happy to learn this novel was transformed into a musical! I had never heard of it before and was really curious as to how it may have been portrayed on stage. I can't say I'm surprised. I was getting a My Fair Lady feel from this book anyway.
