This is the story of Rose, a rich but lonely and sickly girl who has been recently orphaned and sent to live with her maiden aunts. When Rose's guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad he takes over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing and her exposure to the exploits of her seven male cousins and numerous aunts, Rose becomes happier and healthier, cured of many of her fears and prejudices. She also makes friends with Phebe, her aunts' maid of her own age, whose cheerful attitude in the face of poverty helps to illustrate to Rose her own good fortune. (7 hr 15 min)

Sweet story

Great book. The reader's voice is fine, but the mispronunciation of several words (such as: row, whilst, and bosom) made me cringe.
Nice

A good reader with a few misspelled words. I prefer more expression but she did a pretty good job.

I first read this book at age 11; I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now that I can multiply that age by six. The characters are well-drawn, the ratio of fun times to moral dilemmas is pretty even, and anyone who was going to die was polite enough to expire before the book began. The narrator has a nice clear voice, but she needs to look up the pronunciation of unfamiliar words before she records them.
such wholesomeness

a wonderfully, uplifting story. my teen girls LOVED it. such lovely, quaint memories of what womanhood and manhood use to be like.... when life was wholesome and girls and boys had to invent their own fun and were so capable at doing so. highly recommend this book. read Rose in Bloom next.
