A bride's farewell

This is a tale of a girl who is set to be married the following day, but does not want to be a housewife, for she does not want to make the sacrifice, so she runs away, Bean stubbornly sticking with her despite her planning on going alone. She encounters many troubles and adventures on the way to a destination not even she knew

I'll admit when picking this book up it looked like a romantic thing, which I'm not really into, however, there is little of that, and more adventure as she travels. I liked how information was not given to you immediately, but more in 'flashback' or 'memory' chapters, which was good.

I knew that being a wife in those days would not have been easy, however, this book showed me what was so horrible about it and why more like pell ran to escape it! So many children would never be easy even if you wanted to have so many, and Pell did not.

The only thing lacking at some points was pace, but even that was there at most points.
