Ramona, a novel written by Helen Hunt Jackson (1884), is the story of a part-Scottish and part-Native American orphan girl growing up and getting married in Southern California, suffering racial discrimination and hardship. Originally serialized in the Christian Union on a weekly basis, the novel became immensely popular. Overall, it has had more than 300 printings, been made into four film versions, and has been performed as an outdoor play annually since 1923. The impact the novel had on the culture and image of Southern California was enormous. Its romanticization of Mexican colonial life gave the region a unique cultural identity and its publication coincided with the arrival of railroad lines to the region, bringing in countless tourists who wanted to see the locations in the novel.

Critiques

Too Difficult to Understand


(2 stars)

I didn't get past the first chapter because the reader doesn't seem able to pronounce many English sounds. With intense concentration, I could make out what she was saying, but then I saw she has read several more chapters in the book, and deciphering what she's saying will be too much work.


(5 stars)

Awesome book. I stayed up late at night listening to it not wanting to stop. A remarkable job of writing. Thank you for writing this wonderful book.

Good!


(4 stars)

The book is quite interesting, but it tends to drag on a little inbetween. The quality of the recording is good and so are the readers!

Sometimes boring story


(5 stars)

Good readers, good quality but at times boring story. Still I really enjoyed the recording. Thanks for making it available!

Ok I guess


(5 stars)

The story is pretty boring. I wouldn't recommend the book. The readers were ok though.
