Hunt writes well, depicting a young teenage girl excellently. I enjoyed the plot, the story-telling, and experiencing Edwardian life. I look forward to reading more of her works.

The Celebrity at Home
Violet Hunt
4/5 stars
This 1904 semi-autobiographical novel is narrated by a 14 year old girl, the daughter of a famous author. In it, she exposes her father, George, in a naive way, not fully understanding all she reports. George, charming but unprincipled, is terrible to his family, and yet Hunt writes it in a manner that one can't help but laugh, even while eagerly anticipating his comeuppance. Tempe, the narrator, is a delight, and the whole absurdity of the family drama amusing.
Hunt writes well, depicting a young teenage girl excellently. I enjoyed the plot, the story-telling, and experiencing Edwardian life. I look forward to reading more of her works.
