Slice of life

This is a rather amusing story that falls along convention fiction patterns--at least until the end. Though the novel does address the concerns and fears of young, well-bred English women thrust into the workplace, I question whether Grant Allen wrote this book to poke fun at the working girl, or sympathizes with her. All in all, The Type-writer Girl is a quick, easy read--so don't let the publication date fool you, not every "old" book is written in the florid manner of Dickens or James.
