I'm really disliking this book. Its a chore just to read it. The way the author writes, which is all newspaper like, is written in a very grownup way. There's words that I can't comprehend and I can't fully grasp what the story. I'm on about page fifty and the author hasn't said much about the characters. She's said a little more, but not enough.
Pretty much all I know about the characters is that they arrived in Elkhead by train and were greeted by Farrington Carpenter. They ate dinner and were taken to their room, witch already had furniture in it. Then in the morning they had breakfast with cowboys who didn't say much, but had good manners. Next Carpenter gave them horses to borrow, and then it talks about that they went to Smith (a school for only woman). It says that they did fun things with their friends, didn't have a desire to be married yet, and a few other things.
I read the description of the book and it said that it was about the girls getting an education, and how Carpenter has a plan to marry them off to some guys. Its just I thought that it would focus more on the education. Its a two hundred and ten page book, you'd think it would have more to comment on about their education. Most of the book isn't even about the girls. It just tells about events in history in the area of Elkhead or their home town.
I do like some of the historical events that she adds to the story, but they are taking up most of the book. If I was asked if I'd recommend this book to anyone I'd say no.
