A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
It was so nice to read something so light after such a heavy feeling. T_T I almost wanted to go back to ten years before.
I think, Frances Burnett is one hell of a story-teller, she must've been a good child herself. I feel ashamed for not remembering she's the author of The Secret Garden, the first novel I've read that was authored by her.
I didn't also recognize that this is actually the novel where 'Sara, Ang Munting Prinsesa' was based. The movie altered a few, but it maintained the Sara Crewe Burnett created. It was proven in the story that Burnett indeed loved to read, and maybe, just maybe, we have similar tastes. She liked The Count of Monte Cristo, it was funny and damn entertaining how she made Sara Crewe such a darling intelligent girl to have all her imaginations so strong that the attic was considered a Bastille, and she and Becky, prisoners, Miss Minchin - the jailer.
It was so simple, and I think this should be included in Reading classes for elementary students. Had I met this book while I adored dolls, I might've turned out differently. Lol.
All in all, I love the story, and everyone. It's a good read especially after a bad day, or after reading heavy books.
