Not just the style and language but some of the concepts seem remarkably dated ninety years later; in particular the great contempt shown for any hint of 'sentimentality'. An essay at the start of the book by a modern writer examines this, along with an apparently callous attitude to child mortality.
While I've read others in the 'La Rochelle' series, at least thirty years ago, I don't recall ever having read this book, which was long out of print until 'Girls Gone By' re-published it in 2008 with the original text and some of the original illustrations. As well as the introductory essay, there is a short and moving related story at the end.
It probably wouldn't appeal to most of today's teenagers, but it's a nice piece of nostalgia for anyone who has enjoyed the lengthy 'Chalet School' series by the same author. ( )
