I knew I was in trouble when there was no plot on the book flap.

    <body><![CDATA[My first grown-up book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The first half is a Cinderella story about a poor-but-genteel woman who marries a Marquis. (If you've read the title, then this is not a spoiler.) The second half is a melodrama about the murderous attempts on the woman's life. Much of the middle se...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19686337">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although Burnett's books by in large are geared for a younger audience (The Secret Garden, A Little Princess), this one is skewed to a slightly older audience.  It is similar to some of Louisa May Alcott's lesser known works (8 Cousins, The Inheritance, etc) and makes for a very enjoyable read.

    <body><![CDATA[This is romantic and the characters in no way resemble me or mine but it is delightful to read. I admire and (even envy) the simplicity and goodness of Emily. Reading this after so many imitations, it can feel hackneyed but I think the quality of the writing makes it a worthwhile and enjoyable read....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68693203">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Charming story with a moral: If you are self-sacrificing and kind to everyone, you will get a husband with loads of money and a country estate.....<br/><br/>Seriously though, this was a cute book. It IS rather refreshing when the heroine is not very beautiful, rich, or especially clever.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[By the same author who wrote <em>The Secret Garden</em>--but this book is for adults. It's sort of a variation on the marriage market novel, but in this book the marriage occurs at the novel's midpoint. The protagonist is incredibly naive, but ultimately this saves her.]]></body>
