Isabelle and Alexander by Rebecca Anderson (new books to read TXT) 📗

have a special friend in your family?

5. Industry in 1850 changed much of the landscape of some of England’s northern cities, Manchester in particular. Isabelle moves from the country to the city and finds herself initially repulsed by the huge buildings belching coal smoke. Would you have preferred the country to the city? What are the benefits of each?

6. Glory Kenworthy is a young woman of both talent and disability in a time in which families were generally expected to send people with physical or mental disabilities away to institutions or asylums. What kinds of contributions have you witnessed from people of differing abilities?

7. Isabelle waits (perhaps too long) to make her mark on Alexander’s home. How do you determine what makes your space your own?

8. Alexander’s injury changes everything about his life, or so he believes. How would an accident like this affect your life? The life of someone you care about?

9. Both Alexander and Isabelle depend on the well-meaning nudges of Mrs. Burns and Doctor Kelley to give them confidence to fall in love. Do you have people in your life who lend you bravery to do the things that will be best for you?
