This is the diary of a very well-off girl in St. John's, who loses almost everything in the devastating fire. Triffie is presented as spoiled sometimes, but she's a very likeable character despite. She doesn't lord her status or money over anyone. The way she writes about things is more matter of fact, as it's all she knows.
The family owns a store and the stone warehouse is saved from the fire, so they all move into it and start salvaging what they can of their business.
It sounds rather boring summed up, but Triffie's such a likeable character that you want to read about her ups and downs. I like this one a lot.
