The writing styles of Ms. Peterson and Ms. Miller remind me of the Anne of Green Gables stories that I loved when I was younger. The relationship that the cousins share is amusing as well as showcases their love for one another, despite their differences. The cousins will defend each other, even to their own families. The story is set in the 1890's and reflects what the women of society went through, their hopes, their dreams, and their disappointments. I connected with Fanny's character in wanting to be with her family for the summer vacations. Even though the families do not get along, she still wishes to honor her grandparents memories by trying to keep the family together.
