The Shuttle (EN) - Frances Hodgson Burnett
Smart and intuitive, Bettina is not fooled by Sir Nigel, the English aristocrat, who has come to New York to marry her sweet and naïve older sister Rosalie. But still a child, there is nothing much Bettina can do about it. And rightly so: Sir Nigel is cruel and selfish and only marries Rosalie for her money.
With `The Shuttle‘ (1907), Author Frances Hodgson Burnett created one of those heroines whose presence it is immensely satisfying to be in. When years have passed and the family has lost all contact with Rosalie, however, Bettina decides to sail across the Atlantic and save her sister. Betty is initiative and strong, and she refuses to be bullied by manipulative men.
It is hard not to fall in love with her. Despite its dark plot, `The Shuttle‘ is ultimately a romantic and uplifting story with lots of delicious drama.
