Read Online Ebook A Red Wallflower, by Susan Warner
It is now a good many years ago that an English family came over from the old country and established itself in one of the small villages that are scattered along the shore of Connecticut. Why they came was not clearly understood, neither was it at all to be gathered from their way of life or business. Business properly they had none; and their way of life seemed one of placid contentment and unenterprising domestic pleasure. The head of the family was a retired army officer, now past the prime of his years; tall, thin, grey, and grave; but a gentleman through and through. Everybody liked Colonel Gainsborough, although nobody could account for a man of his age leading what seemed such a profitless life. He was doing really nothing; staying at home with his wife and his books. Why had he come to Connecticut at all?

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Typical Warner book--but with some twists By Maggie Jarpey Susan Warner's heroes and heroines are usually very similar to one another, as her readers know, but there are always some differences, as is the case here. And she always has some thorough historical or cultural or even scientific information and description included--again, as is the case here. This book does a wonderful job of describing English history and the state of London at the time of the writing of the book, including the state of the United States at that time, plus relations between the two countries. I feel as if I took a tour of London's most notable places in a time machine that took me back to the time of the writing. And I received an excellent summary of English history up to that time as well.Also, there is much description and information on various flowers, which I always enjoy in her books, though it is sad to realize that so many wild flowers have disappeared. Something the reader continually encounters in books of this era is the almost complete lack of government help for the poor, leaving it up to Christians to do anything for them. There are positives and negatives involved in both situations. The class distinctions, carryovers from England, are fascinatingly strong in early American culture.And once more, I'm trying to move more slowly and gracefully, the way Warner's heroines do: a difficult challenge for someone who moves in just the opposite way!
