Ebook ↠ The Benefactress PDF/EPUB Ë benefactress ebok, The Benefactress EpubExcellent character development to the point that I ached for the heroine's naïveté felt angry with the entrenched older women and hoped the princess would be involved In other words I was drawn into the story despite the fact that Anna's fatal flaw was so painful to watch All of the German culture and such was overwhelming Was it an instructive lesson for readers as well? It certainly did not make Germany appealing compared to England Listening to the book on Librivox read by Helen Taylor made it even better I may not have continued the book without her excellent storytelling What disappointed me deeply was the way the ending was handled After an amazing climax the denouement

Ebook ↠ The Benefactress PDF/EPUB Ë benefactress ebok, The Benefactress EpubAn early work by Elizabeth Arnim this book is amusing but by no means as delightful as her nchanted April Its heroine is Anna a young girl whose parents are dead and is living with her brother and his wife Susie Anna is very pretty and Susie is constantly trying to marry her off but Anna will not cooperate preferring to lead an independent life even though she has no visible means of supportWhen an uncle in Germany dies and leaves his estate to her Anna decides to use her newly found money to provide a home for for ladies of quality who have fallen onto hard times Her new German neighbors hardly know what to make of her but she soon has an establishment set
Ebook ↠ The Benefactress PDF/EPUB Ë benefactress ebok, The Benefactress EpubOver all a good book but not a great book Most characters were irritating written that way on purpose There were two sane main characters who undergo some character development The ending was a bit sudden but also sweet and kinda satisfying like a candy bar that has nuts AND chocolate in it Not von Arnim's best but I did sort of enjoy the idea of the sane surviving among the insane or the reasonable along the unreasonable the Christian among the unchristian the normal among the abnormally insecure or something through support and inner resources that got them through it all Thinking back on it the culture these characters moved through felt a bit Alice in Wonderland Did von Arnim exaggerate? Or were these harmful social sentiments actually that common in German culture of the time? She certainly had plenty of personal experience to fall back on It makes me shudder

Ebook ↠ The Benefactress PDF/EPUB Ë benefactress ebok, The Benefactress EpubParts of this book reminds me of Far from the madding crowd the fire in the farm buildings an heiress coming to live in the countryside a romance with the local landowner that the heroine wasn't interested in at first Makes me wonder if Elizabeth had previously read HardyIt does seem as if Elizabeth had many ideas for the book and dropped them along the way without really resolving them characters vanish and are never heard of again it does seem a little unfinishedI hated the spiteful characters of the Chosen why Anna was determined to keep them at all costs was rather incomprehensible
Ebook ↠ The Benefactress PDF/EPUB Ë benefactress ebok, The Benefactress EpubI was racing through this novel not knowing exactly how it was going to end but I knew I had just one page to go and it seemed like a lot of loose ends had to be tied up and I didn’t see how that was possible to do in one page and I turned to what I thought was the last page and the ending was uncertain and I had already been through 441 pages and I said to myself “Arghhthat’s it? Why did you do that Elizabeth? Oh well I’ll give it 3 stars because it was so good” and then I turned the page and there were three pages😊 I think this was Elizabeth’s first foray into this type of novelone with a full blown plot and a cast
