A review by evaseyler
Cornelli by Johanna Spyri

4.0

I just finished recording this for Librivox. I first read it in 2011, and I had forgotten much of it. It is a truly delightful story and, as usual, I resonate with Spyri's protagonist SO MUCH. I have often wondered whether Spyri was such a child herself - misunderstood, sensitive, alone - or if she just happened to land on a formula that worked well. I tend to think it was the former, because it seems so achingly portrayed, but who knows.

I do have to say the ending is not what I had originally anticipated, though perhaps some things must be read between the lines.
