Household Puzzles
Pansy
Gelesen von TriciaG
Household Puzzles peeks into the life of the Randolph family, four daughters and one son. They are financially strapped but must follow societal expectations . . . and the expectations of Helen, the eldest daughter, who is a slave to the whims of society. Half the family are professing Christians, but only the father really lives it out. Helen's marriage, Tom's job in a saloon, their cousin's visit, and other events all have an impact that reverberate through the family. (Intro by TriciaG) (7 hr 58 min)

a Pansy triumph
okra
I didn't think that Pansy had it in her to write as disagreeable a character as Helen Randolph. Oh my goodness, The number of times I got worked up over how utterly self-absorbed and self-righteous that girl could be with her family. I wanted to shake her and throw her out of the house. Good literature creates strong feelings.
Sustainable Fashion?

There's an interesting discussion about the contrasting claims on a Christian's money between charity and 'fitting in'. (They called it propriety.) In an era when upper-middle class ladies were expected to wear silk dresses made of 12 yards of fabric and furlongs of trimming, all sewn by hand, one day dress could easily cost more than $500, and evening dresses could top $1000. (In 1870s money!) The rest of the book is very much in Pansy's usual vein: temperance, bad romantic decisions, illnesses, deaths, Christians reaching out to help (or not,) people refusing or accepting help, young people pairing up, etc. I enjoyed it.
A little slow at the start

I enjoyed this book but found it a bit hard to get into for the first couple of chapters. I enjoy everything read by Tricia G.
Entertaining & Inspiring

Beginning of a series of sweet stories of the salvation of the Rudolph household. Interesting characters and pleasant reading voice. Well done.
