A sweet book about a young American girl's trip to Europe in the 1800s. I read the first 2 books years ago and have decided to continue with this series.

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this series so much!! Although Coolidge isn't the best at writing romance 😂 11mo

Books from this era that tell a story of someone going abroad to Europe always intrigue me and also somewhat embarrass me, because if I went to Europe I would be significantly less knowledgeable than most of these book characters, plus I don't speak a single word of French! This was another enjoyable, although quiet, entry in the Katy Carr series.

twohectobooks This is the only Katy book I‘ve read and I‘ve always been a bit curious about the others. 5y
TheAromaofBooks @twohectobooks - if you enjoyed this one, you would enjoy the rest, which are along similar lines of rather gentle family stories. The first book is about the Carrs as children, and details Katy's accident that led to her being an invalid for a while and turned her into the paragon of virtue she is in this book, and the second book is about when she and her sister Clover went to boarding school. They're pretty adorable. 5y
twohectobooks That sounds right up my alley! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @twohectobooks - yesterday I finished the fourth book, Clover, and it was sooo interesting because Clover and her brother go stay in Colorado for the brother's health and reading about life in the Rockies in the 1870's was just great fun. Apparently there is a fifth book that I've never read, so I ordered a reprint of it - should be here soon! 5y

What an odd book this is! At times the author seems to be revelling in the adventure, furnishing the story with paragraphs of lovely description. Then at others she shunts aside the possibility that Katy might explore the places she visits on-page - instead wasting words on one of the most spoilt fictional children of all time! I went on Instagram Live to talk about this book, it'll be up for the next 24hrs if you want to check it out! #sbksept
