The gist is that Enola's mom disappears on her 14th birthday and it turns out that she's been fleecing Mycroft for money. She was supposed to have all kinds of things like gardeners, horse stables, and a governess for Enola. Not so much. Hoffman, Jan. (2009, July 17). Nancy Drew’s Granddaughters. The New York Times.

Abraham, Anna (2020). Surveying the Imagination Landscape. In Anna Abraham (Ed.), The Cambridge Handbook of the Imagination, (pp. 1–10). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.I first met Miss Enola Holmes in the novel, ENOLA HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE MISSING MARQUESS. I found her to be utterly brilliant, like her older brothers, and quite given to solving mysteries. Her deductive reasoning is a delight, as is her particular views on society.

Book Enola does not have a close relationship with her mother at all. She's basically raised herself. (Although the book gives more details about why Mrs Holmes is sufficiently upset with her sons to disappear.) She knows of things children of her age with similar sheltered life would know nothing about. Such as procreation. La primera mitad de la novela no se aleja demasiado, pero la segunda, y el desenlace, son bastante diferentes, y se omite bastante la parte de "lucha feminista"; de todas formas, ha sido muy entretenido, y desde luego que he quedado encantadísima con la protagonista, que no podría ser más echada p'alante.

Well, I finished it, which is more than I can say for my previous attempt at reading Springer. Maybe something about her style is just not for me. I remember really disliking the protagonist of her book I tried, which wasn't the case here; I felt neutral toward Enola. I had the general sympathy I would always feel toward a bright young woman feeling confined by social strictures, but other than that she didn't seem that interesting, or as smart as the author was telling me she was. Rudd, David. (2000). Enid Blyton and the Mystery of Children’s Literature. London: Palgrave Macmillan. A 3 means a pretty good story but there were a few things that didn’t work for me. No reason why another reader couldn’t love it. el primer volumen de esta saga de Enola Holmes ha sido de lo más entretenido, y desde luego que lo recomiendo si habéis disfrutado de la película, por la protagonista tan genial que tiene, y por la forma en que refleja la época en Inglaterra. Despite being written in this century, the writing has an old-style feeling, and draws heavily on period language. This was a great discussion point for out book club. The book also draws attention to many of the inequities of the time.

Springer has also stated that Enola is partially based on her own life. She herself is much younger than her two older brothers, who left for college before she reached puberty. Springer, too, had an artist for a mother, who was talented with painting watercolor flowers. Due to cancer, menopause and an early-onset form of dementia, Springer's mother spent less time with her after she turned 14 years old. Further, like Enola, Springer "was a scrawny, bony, gawky tree-climbing tomboy with hair that needed to be washed" and was "solitary and bookish."

Determined to find the missing porter, Enola travels to the rough part of London where the boys live and starts searching Aldgate Pump area for the missing boy. When she finds the missing buttons - but not the boy - she decides that drastic action is essential if she's to save the missing boy. Lakoff, George (1993). The Contemporary Theory of Metaphor.

[7] Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade (2022) [ edit ] After she discovers she's been abandoned, Miss Holmes puts the police to searching for her mother, but at the same time she knows that if her brothers find her alone and uncared for they'll ship her off to a young ladies' finishing school. That's not something Miss Holmes wants.

[ permanent dead link] There is also some inconsistency in the character of Mrs. Holmes. Such as Mrs. Holmes is supposed to be very liberal. She mingles with the unsavoury and lower class, she does no give her daughter proper education for a squire’s daughter, she lets her child does things others would frown upon, but does not dare to carry out her late husband’s last wishes for fear of scandal.

Plot: Moderate. Predictable. A bit boring. In certain parts, a bit unrealistic. Quite disappointing. Not smart in the very least. (The code used is too simple, and used to repetitively without any variation.) The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
