This book is a typical Cinderella story. Eliza who was a flower-seller and spoke in London accent go through special training by higgins, phonetics proffesor, then she can speak immpeccable English and become an upper class's lady.
However, I think that this story has another side beyond "Cinderella story" which is a social problem about rank among people.
In this story Eliza just canged her accent, apperance and gesture, also her surrounding absolutely changed. I think that it's a ridiculous thing, rank is nothing. So I like this story's ending which Eliza chose not becoming a "lady" but getting true love.

Ayumi,
Nice choice of book and good review. You make a good observation about social rank. I agree with you. I am glad that the book had a happy ending. Also, nice picture. It will be fun for people to know that Audrey Hepburn was in the movie. Keep up the good work and enjoy your next book.
