Tarkington Romance, Jan 19 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gentle Julia (The Works of Booth Tarkington) (Library Binding)
A story about the most sought after young woman, Julia, and her meddling nephew and niece. The story's primary focus, despite the title, is actually from the niece, Florence, who is 13.Florence sees something in the town's uncouth loser, named Noble Dill and wants Gentle Julia to marry him. He is one of many wanting Julia's hand in marriage. Her other suitors have more class and wit but have their quirks about them. Julia likes Dill; however like most romances, it is on again off again....
The kids, whose antics and fate interweave trouble for Julia and Dill. Not as funny as Penrod, Tarkington does have some humor here as the kids in their innocent dealings cause turmoil.
The book was a bit uneven and I was left wondering what Julia ever saw in Dill (he is a nice guy but definitely was "geeky"). At the end of the book, the reader is left wondering what will become of their relationship... probably Dill still wanting to marry her and Julia playing games, so nothing was really resolved. The children's antics though were humorous and their were some memorable characters and interesting statements made about relationships (one I remember stating that all the poets say how great they are but in reality they are a lot of work and heartache) .
