Hitty Her First Hundred Years
Rachel Field
- Reading
- Try an opening portion first, then discuss how the doll's viewpoint affects the story. Continue if the reader enjoys the hundred-year span; the ending and overall intensity are unclear.
- Themes
- A doll witnessing changing lives: Hitty's life is described across one hundred years and through various owners and their families. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether the long span and changes in owners make the story feel connected or fragmented, and whether Hitty's perspective changes how readers view family life and possessions.
