Full of joyful spirit of youth. Detailed sketch of life in rural Progressive Era, without much elbow rubbing with famous people. Fascinating work here with the setting of a resort in upstate New York. I loved the work with the characters, and the bonus is the way Donnelly uses vocabulary to extend her main character's personality and desires.
