hot girl spring is out. mary lennox spring is in. get in loser we’re frolicking in the garden; we’re talking to birds; we’re getting lost in the heather; we’re wandering gothic manors in the dead of night and discovering secret cousins concealed in attic bedrooms, we’re jumping rope

The most misused word in the language is 'realism.' It has come to stand solely for all that is hideous, sordid and repulsive in life. One would think, to judge from the way in which this word is bandied about, that no real things were beautiful or good . . . A rose, a spring day, the sun, kindness, tolerance, nobility, unselfishness--these are as real as poverty and sin and hopelessness.

Frances Hodgson Burnett, February 1909 interview quoted in Waiting for the Party: The Life of Frances Hodgson Burnett, 1849-1924 by Ann Thwaite

Reasons to read The Shuttle by Fances Hodgson Burnett:

It's written by the same author who wrote The Secret Garden, and A Little Princess. She actually wrote a lot of really good novels aimed more towards adults (and a bunch of others for kids as well!) If you liked any of her other works, you'll probably like the magic and life woven through this book as well!

There's a female protagonist who's strong- not in the "she fights well" type, but in the "she thinks things through and takes charge and has a sound head for business and gets stuff done" sense.

The primary antagonist is a well written and truly despicable villain- not some larger than life prettyboy who commits war crimes, but the kind of villain you could meet in your everyday life. He's just a regular guy who makes awful choices and hurts those around him.

There's a complicated romance. It's not one of those "guy and girl meet and fall instantly in love," but a "guy and girl who say they would absolutely never want to end up with someone like the other person fall in love."

The main character has a healthy relationship with both of her parents, who are both alive!!!

There's a really, really great father-daughter relationship there too!!!

There's a typewriter salesman from America and everyone loves all his Americanisms and good nature. (Dracula readers: if you like Quincey Morris, you'll probably adore G. Selden!)

The foreshadowing throughout this entire book is incredible. Even on my fifth readthrough, I'm picking up on things I hadn't noticed before.

Narrative foils! The comparisons and contrasts that can be drawn between Sir Nigel and Lord Mount Dunstan are mind-blowing, and Burnett did a wonderful job highlighting them.

There's a really adorable side-couple and they are so lovable they hold a place in my heart even though they only show up in a couple chapters.

Banter. There's flirting veiled by banter. There's insults veiled by banter. There's so much witty banter in this book.

I don't want to spoil the ending but everyone gets exactly what's coming to them, and it's got a very satisfying conclusion.

There's so many beautiful, poetic quotes in this book.

There's a really good found family relationship between one of the lords and a vicar who's basically like a father and also best friend to him.

I could go off for hours about how amazing the heroine's primary love interest is, but I'll just say this book has given me such high expectations for men.

There's a bit of a love triangle, but it doesn't take up too much presidence in the plot, and it's written in such a way that even the readers can easily see both options as appealing

It starts out a bit slow, but the pace picks up as you read, and a lot of engaging plot twists, so by the end you're on the edge of your seat!

You can find it for FREE on many ebook sites, like Google Play Books, and it's also available for FREE on Project Gutenberg!

If you like rambling about books with people, I will absolutely ramble about this book with you. I could talk for hours about this book.

Tl;Dr: The Shuttle is a criminally underrated book and your only regret will be that you didn't read it sooner!

Slight trigger warning: This book deals with domestic abuse, neglect, and manipulation, which is based on actual abuse the author went through. As such, a couple chapters may be triggering for some readers who've been through similar scenarios. There's also some violence in the climax, and even though it's not described in too much detail, it can still be a bit heavy.
