Laurie Colwins “An Old-Fashioned Story”

…

…rebellious, spunky and such children like this are never called difficult but original. While Nelson and Elizabeth at first seem uniquely different the end up being similar characters. Clown takes you on a journey from childhood, though adolescents, into young adulthood bringing these two characters together. It takes to the end of the story to shoe that Nelson and Elizabeth are really alike. Despite their differences they come together in love in a secret romance.
