struppi reviewed The Diary of a Young Girl by Cherry Gilchrist (Penguin readers)
Review of 'The diary of a young girl' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
so sweet and earnest that it depresses me. i want to be brave, too. i like that we both have had a root canal in one of our front teeth, it makes me feel better about the fact that my tooth might shatter when i’m older.
edit: im in despair. there are only twenty pages left in the book, and she is writing about how the gentle night sky gives her the courage to go on. i have never been more touched. she is not only courageous in the sense of a hero, but also unflinching in the face of all life’s dangers. she is like a lion bearing its sharp teeth and claws. how could a girl like this…….
