Now she gets a chance to be a person in her own right, and I love her. Wishing for Tomorrow is told from Ermengarde's point of view-poor lumpish Ermengarde for whom Sara's departure was hardest (and who Burnett seems to have regarded simply as a foil for Sara's relentless perfection). Now they have been freed, and given stories and endings of their own. But the other students of Miss Minchen's Academy-Lavinia, Lottie, Ermengarde and all- were left stuck there in dismal-ness. I feel rather dizzy with book love.and so very very happy that McKay wrote this book and that I got it for Christmas.Īt the end of A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1904), Sara Crewe got a Happy Ending, and Becky got to ride on her coat-tails.
I have just finished reading Wishing for Tomorrow, by Hilary McKay, and I want to read it again.
