Description

As Gwendolyn stared at the line the reflection of her small face in the mirror grew suddenly all white as if some rude hand had reached out and brushed away the pink from cheeks and lips.

A children's book, not as good as [b:A Little Princess|3008|A Little Princess|Frances Hodgson Burnett|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327868556s/3008.jpg|1313599], which is the measurement by which such books are judged. I'm sure I wanted another Little Princess story, which I did not get.
Dnf. The Librivox narrator read a little too fast for me.
Bought by mistake...probably never will read it
