The year is 1900 and orphaned 14-year-old Rosetta and her beloved younger sister Flora sail from England as “home girls.” They are sent to Canada so that they can have a chance at family life. Their dreams are shattered when Flora is adopted, but Rosetta is deemed to be too old. She is to become a farm worker, far from Flora’s new home.

Rosetta’s only dream is to find her sister. But slowly and against her will, she is drawn into the lives of the strange couple with whom she has been placed. It is soon clear to her that their home is full of fear and sorrow.

As her relationship develops with the farmer’s wife, Rosetta learns that true sisterhood can take many forms. The support the two young women offer one another makes each one stronger until they find a way to follow their dreams.

This made me think of the movie Heaven on Earth (1988). I recently found it again on Youtube. Heartbreaking.

Journal Entry 5 by wingDelphi_Readerwing at Delphi - Δελφοί , Fokida Greece on Tuesday, December 12, 2023
I started this book in Delphi a couple of days ago and finished it in Piraeus where I came for business. I found the story kind of predictable and the characters cliché, but it still held my interest to read it till the end. It was often quite moving and other times frustrating due to the behavior of some characters. The final scene of the book could be better-written but in general I “enjoyed” reading it.

It will now be released somewhere in the wider Athens area to continue its trip!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Watch this space!
Edit 14 December: I left the book in the very festive Syndagma Square in Athens city center by the foot of this pretty Christmas bear.
I was very busy during last few days, so I managed to come and update my release notes just now.

I am extremely glad the book was found and journaled so soon : )
Thank you Fairy_el for giving this book a new home! Welcome in BookCrossing!
