A Pretty Age By
Barbara Mueller
This
is a turn of the century mystery revolving around women’s rights, and the use
of the new technologies of that day. Two
friends from very different backgrounds attend a convent boarding school; both
leave school early, but for very different reasons. A missionary visitor comes to speak for a few
days at the school and Sophiny Mumm is fascinated by him – Antoinette Dominguez
is not. Sophiny’s mother dies and she
has to go home while Antoinette’s mother has disappeared. Antoinette leaves to search for her mother
and leaves clues for Sophiny hoping she can help.
This
book is very different from what I usually read but I enjoyed it. It is very detailed with lots of historical
facts given. It was a little hard to get
into it but ultimately I found it hard to put it down – as the many twists and
turns of the plot kept me reading as fast as I could. There were many characters to try to keep up
with but in the end it all fit together and I wanted to know more about the
future of Sophiny and the missionary.
