Betsy and the Great World
A young writer sails for Europe in 1914 to gather material, and finds rather more than planned.
Betsy Ray, the last of Maud Hart Lovelace’s long series, sails for Europe in 1914 to become a writer, taking in Munich, Venice and London while the continent moves toward war. Lovelace based Betsy closely on her own girlhood in Mankato, Minnesota, and the later books grew up with her: this one is about ambition, homesickness and a young woman deciding what she actually wants.
