Although the lost identity premise wasn't new, Alexander's medical condition and Elsie's illness made this story original. The cruelty Alexander suffered in childhood was heart wrenching and because he was so vulnerable I couldn't help but find him immensely endearing. Elsie had a sunny disposition, maybe a little too rose-tinted, and her belief in Alexander wavered at a very crucial point with heartbreaking results. Sometimes the storytelling was somewhat abrupt but theirs was a very tender love story and well worth the credit. 4 stars.
