Spare and ElegantBy Ginger XsPS7ynGY B.Mary Reilly by Valerie Martin is a spare and elegant retelling of the story of rgN6MTGvh Robert Lewis Stevensons Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as seen through the eyes of OmSGOOx3L Dr. Jekylls young housemaid, Mary Reilly. Mary, a survivor of both abject wWZ0cLJCu poverty and childhood abuse, has lived through her share of darkness. She has LwvRLhopU even managed to learn to read and write, and has gained a respectable position. GoTRBoQWt She and her master, the kind and honorable Dr. Jekyll, come to respect, bCFckkqi1 appreciate, and trust each other (there are even the glimmerings of something hZ5mom4BO more developing between them). The prose is beautiful, the subtext and u1R4JMLCK symbolism are subtle, the characters are artfully drawn, and the time period is ENPViFPDD pitch perfectan amazing book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. YocZnLe8w A return to the originalBy Jonathan KellerValerie Martin returns to the original DrFU4cfz6 ideas of Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by eliminating the girlfriend figure DcJ0GTRob which quickly found its way into adaptations beginning with a play only a few GY5mAVyBe years after the original. Valerie Martin also returns to the original by allowing her readers to see the world which Stevenson attempted to write about by emphasizing class/race/gender distinctions and showing the dual nature of England of Stevenson's time.
