When I was a kid, I loved the “Hallmark Hall of Fame” movie version of this book. Loved it so much that I asked for it for Christmas when I was a teenager. (And got it!)

But I’ve only just now finished the book. So lovely! I truly enjoyed the descriptions of the characters, and how they played on each other’s strengths and weaknesses to make each other better people. It was fun “watching” Mary transform from sallow and sour to lively and enjoyable, and Collin from sickly and depressed to hopeful and strong.

And trying to read the Yorkshire accents was fun!
