Joy in Nature and in a Rebellious Spirit Review of the Vintage Classics reprint edition (2017) of the 1898 original. Despite a readiness to speak up and say what she thinks, she complains about her inability to actually do the gardening and that she can merely give orders to the gardeners (why? Surely in 1898 women could plant flowers?!) Despite her readiness to make sarcastic comments about the guests, she (I assume) sacks a governess whom she overhears speaking out of turn.But it's a feel-good book with some lovely descriptions and thoughts on life.
