A review by kailey_luminouslibro
Far to Go by Noel Streatfeild
3.0
Margaret is tired of playing with a small theater company, so when the opportunity arises for her to go to an audition in London, she jumps at the chance. Things seem to be going well for Margaret, until the evil Matron from Margaret's old orphanage is seen skulking around the theater, searching for Margaret in order to take her revenge.
I loved this charming book about a young stage actress at the turn of the century. The characters are vivid and interesting, and I enjoyed the engaging plot. There are a few twists and turns in the plot, but most of its charm comes from the sweetness of the characters, and their close ties to the theater.
I especially liked the details of Margaret's clothes and costumes, and how she got her schooling, and the obstacles between her friendships with the various children around the theater. Those things added an interest and reality to the story.
The ending was rushed, and I wish there had been a few more chapters of denouement, but other than that, I enjoyed the story!
