En väldigt Fin läsupplevelse som var svår att lägga ifrån sig; en bok som berör på så många plan! Rekommenderas!

En klassiker bland ungdomsböcker som jag inte hade läst och egentligen inte visste så mycket om men som jag verkligen gillade!

Vi får träffa Sara Crewe som kommer till England för att gå på en privatskola för flickor. Sara har bott med sin pappa i Indien men när Indiens klimat inte upplevs vara så bra för barn så återvänder den lilla familjen till sitt hemland.

I början verkar det mesta vara helt ok för Sara på skolan; hon får vänner och personalen på skolan är trevlig; men det är så länge som allt ser bra ut för den välbärgade Sara. När förhållandena förändras så blir hennes situation en helt annan och hon möter svårigheter som hon aldrig behövt möta tidigare.

Saras öde är verkligen något som berör mig på så många plan; sorgen att bli lämnad och även lära sig leva på ett helt nytt sätt är inte lätt som vuxen och ännu svårare när man är ett barn. En bok jag varmt kan rekommendera och jag är övertygad om att jag kommer läsa den fler gånger.
