Far To Go by Noel Streatfeild
4.0
The sequel to Thursday's Child, Far to Go continues Margaret Thursday's journey to make herself a name and establish herself. I love the older style that this book is written in! I was trying to explain it to my sister, but it usually involves a 3rd person semi-omniscient narrator, a certain phrasing, that I can't explain, and a sort of space for the audience. For me it creates a sense of nostalgia because I read a lot of books written that way growing up! The story is continuing her actress journey as she lands a role at a famous London theatre. Suddenly famous, the news reaches the matron of her old orphanage, who is out to get revenge. Margaret is focused on the play, but she will need to keep her wits about her and enlist the help of friends to keep herself safe.
Margaret is so fun! She is very focused on her career and establishing herself. She is not particularly rambunctious, but she knows her mind and her goals. It is also fun to read about all the new characters! They are all interesting and fun to read about.
Overall, this is a fun read that continues the story. So definitely this is a book where you probably should read the first book! It is a lovely story that I think is suitable for older elementary readers and up, because of some scenes that could be frightening. However, it may differ depending on the person, of course! It is an older style, so be prepared too!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.
