A Colony of Girls

"A Colony of Girls" is a Victorian-era coming-of-age novel by the American writer Kate Livingston Willard. The story tells of a young girl who lost her parents early and had to take care of her younger siblings. Being helped by a childless aunt, the family lived quietly and peacefully in an old-fashioned house with the doors always open to friends and guests. Someone from outside rarely visited the little community, yet everything changed, and life in the quiet manor turned upside down one day. A gripping romantic story full of the charm of the past era.
