I really enjoyed this easy and quick read. Judith Miller is quickly becoming a “go-to” author of mine. She did not disappoint with this newest release!
One of the things I like about Judith Miller is her attention to detail without bogging her reader down in the details. Her research into the time period shows in her writing, yet her style allows the reader to continue in the story without feeling like he/she is missing something if he/she doesn’t take the time to read every word. It makes for a very enjoyable read.
The story in “The Carousel Painter” is that of a ‘poor’ woman who is friends with a ‘well-to-do’ society gal whose father owns a carousel factory. Carrie (the ‘poor’ woman) is able to attain a job at the all-men factory, much to the chagrin of the other employees and their spouses. Even the factory manager, Josef, seems to question her abilities at first. Throughout the story, trouble arises, and time and time again, Carrie finds her pride getting the better of her.
