Stepmothers! It was rotten to have a stepmother, everybody said so. And it was true! Not that Arlena was unkind to her. Most of the time she hardly noticed the girl. But when she did, there was a contemptuous amusement in her glance, in her words. The finished grace and poise of Arlena’s movements emphasized Linda’s own adolescent clumsiness. With Arlena about, one felt, shamingly, just how immature and crude one was.

The look of the girl is exactly how one can imagine it… you have brilliantly captured the atmosphere of the book. And I do like the limited choice of colours, that seize very well the historic context. Bravo!
Thank you Alessandra! Linda’s character (the girl) has always fascinated me..
