Ever since the untimely death of her mother, 14-year-old Joan Skraggs has been desperately unhappy. Under the thumb of her cruel father and three sullen brothers, Joan lives like a servant on their farm just outside of Lancaster, forever cooking, cleaning, and attending to the many demands of the home. But she has little freedom and less support from her family for her love of reading and blossoming interest in education. But when her father tells Joan she can't go to school anymore, it sets off a journey that will see her become first a runaway, then a hired girl on $6 a week, and finally her very own young woman.

Set in America during the optimistic years before the First World War, and told through a series of journal entries, The Hired Girl is the story of a young girl in search of real life and true love. It takes in feminism and housework; money, religion, and social class; literature and education, romanticism and realism, first love and sexual yearnings, cats, hats, and bunions. And it's a comedy.

Although this is written for pre-teens /YA readers, it’s absolutely a great story for girls and women of all ages. ( I’m not sure boys/men would relate to it ). Joan/Janet is a delightful character, reminiscent of Anne of Green Gables, although this book isn’t that innocent. The only negative ( and it’s rather a glaring one IMHO) is the over-emphasis and lengthy discussions of religion, Catholic vs. Jewish. It became a little preachy. I’m guessing that the author was using this story to teach religious tolerance.
The narrator was just perfect for the first-person voice of Janet.

Lovely for girls of all ages

I really liked this book! I related to Joan because she loved books I liked hearing her story. I wish there was a sequel. It’s so good. But boy do I hate David now but I guess he was decent he didn’t use her. But she deserves better. ✌️Peace out

So GOOD *SPOILERS*

I may actually go back and listen again, which is something I don't often do. the character was strong and naive. reminded me of another favorite Midwifes Apprentice with humble beginnings and enobling finish...

enjoyable listen

I love stories about jewish families from another time, and at first I really enjoyed the progress of Joan’s character. But when she continued to make incredibly dumb moves over and over again, even predictable dumb moves, I became frustrated.

Then, instead of a little pay off where we see Joan develop into a woman who lives up to the intellect other people describe her as having, we just get sped a year forward and left with a 15 minute summary.

I ended the book satisfied with the way things turned out for Joan, but also left wondering what the point was of the book I just listened to.

Disappointing and not disappointing?

I'm not sure if it's because it's being told through in the words of a 14 year old girl or what, but the mispronunciation of a few words struck me very odd. For instance, Beatrice was pronounced "Be-ah-trich-ay" (maybe it was pronounced like that in this time, I don't know) and Beatified, as in made a saint, was pronounced "Beetified". There was another one, but I'm forgetting it now. Other than that, it was entertaining.

Very entertaining

The story was almost impossible to put down, and the reader was incredible. Loved it.

Wonderful.

Normally I don't read much YA but I did enjoy this book. I think I'm going to recommend it to my nieces.

Nice story

I often encounter readers mispronouncing Yiddish or Hebrew words when I listen to Jewish books on audible. I was so impressed by the good voice acting in this one! Story line was a bit cliche but an enjoyable listen overall.

finally a Jewish book with a good reader!

I love this book! it's clean, funny and quirky. like Ann of green gables. I listen to it every year, when I want something entertaining and lighthearted.

My go-to listen every year!

Loved every minute of this story. Sometimes laugh out loud funny, other times thought provoking.
