Sobre aquest llibre
Patty and her two best friends Conny and Priscilla are appalled when they find out they've been separated as roommates for their senior year at Saint Ursula's boarding school. Patty will not let it stand and the girls come up with schemes to go back to rooming with one another. The book follows Conny, Priscilla, Patty and their schoolmates (but mostly Patty) through their senior year. It's a series of vignettes about friendship, mischief and growing up in the early 1900s.

Sobre l'autor
Jean Webster, born Alice Jane Chandler Webster on July 24, 1876, in Fredonia, New York, was an American author and playwright whose works captured the spirit of early 20th-century America. A niece of the famed Mark Twain, Webster was deeply influenced by her literary heritage and the progressive ideals of her time. She attended Vassar College, where she became involved in social reform movements, particularly those advocating for women's rights and education.Webster's novels often featured strong, independent female protagonists who challenged societal norms, reflecting her own feminist beliefs. Her writing was characterized by wit, charm, and a keen social conscience, making her a beloved figure among readers who yearned for stories that combined humor with a critique of social issues.One of Webster's most notable contributions was her exploration of the orphan experience and the importance of education, themes that resonated with a generation of readers and inspired future writers to address similar topics. Her works were revolutionary in their portrayal of women as capable and self-reliant, a stark contrast to the more passive female characters common in literature of the time.Webster's personal life was as intriguing as her fiction. She married Glenn Ford McKinney in 1915, a union that was both a love match and a partnership of equals, reflecting her progressive views on marriage. Tragically, Webster's life was cut short when she died in childbirth on June 11, 1916, at the age of 39. Despite her brief career, Jean Webster's legacy endures, her stories continuing to inspire and entertain readers with their timeless appeal and forward-thinking perspectives.
