Margaret E. Winslow’s Katie Robertson is a warm story for girls about a young heroine who must find her footing in new surroundings, relying on character, faith, and growing friendships to navigate the challenges life presents. Winslow writes in the tradition of quiet, character-driven fiction for young women that was widely admired in the Victorian era.
The novel’s gentle emphasis on virtue, perseverance, and community makes it a charming read, and its young protagonist is easy to root for. Readers who enjoy period fiction in a similar vein to Susan Coolidge or Louisa May Alcott will find Katie Robertson a pleasing companion. Download the free EPUB today.
