I adored this story, and found Columbine to be such a captivating character! Although it was written in the 1940s, Columbine was quite modern in her thinking. Of course, there were many dated expressions and descriptions (describing female characters, for instance) but it didn't hinder the story. Columbine's adventure from an assistant school mistress to the owner and manager of a hotel and the foibles and challenges she faced drew me in from start to finish.
