It has moral implications we don't want our daughter to be exposed to yet. I have described below situations I'm uncomfortable with:The overseer in the factory repeatedly touches Lyddie's sleeve and whispers in her ear and makes her uncomfortable then...p. 129 the overseer holds Lyddie back forcefully from the others at the end of the day and is moving closer to her face when she stomps his foot and escapes (she is confused about what he intended and they ignore each other afterwards) To an informed reader it seems he intended to rape her.p.153 Diana (the only gentle/helper role model in book) becomes pregnant with a married man and leaves the factory to make it on her own with the baby; the father is a kind doctor who helped Lyddie earlier without sending her a bill... it is explained his wife chose not to live in the factory town so it just happened...p160 the overseer has held back another girl named Brigid alone in the factory in the dark - when Lyddie returns for her friend she finds her crying for mercy from the overseer - Lyddie then shoves a bucket of water over his head and rescues Brigid (what he was doing/intended isn't discussed) To an informed reader it seems he intended to rape Brigid.p171 Lyddie realizes the overseer who is a deacon in his church has her dismissed by accusing her of "moral turpitude" - she looks up the meaning in a dictionary and is disgusted he accused her of something so "vile, base, depraved" (again not intimately discussed but our girls will want to understand what they mean)p172 Lyddie gives Brigid a letter to mail to the overseer's wife if he bothers Brigid again... and gives a letter to the overseer warning she will tell his wife if he does anything to BrigidIn my opinion the apt description of factory life is overshadowed by the moral implications of the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/3866417-lyddie-puffin-modern-classics-paperback-september-23-2004](https://www.desertcart.id/products/3866417-lyddie-puffin-modern-classics-paperback-september-23-2004) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
