I recently ran into the idea of a Juvenile Literature book group for adults, (as described in The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin) and have been trying to get one off the ground at my library with this as the first book.
The New Year/ new millenium is such a wonderful setting for the kind of change being presented in the story.

But I am with you in being pleased that Kelly didn’t feel the need to put it in print. I adored this book also. And the vocabulary is so rich! I just loved it.

I also have a problem with young girls/women defying traditional roles in history to do what they want to do and I ask myself, where there really THAT many women who did defy tradition? At the time to defy tradition meant that you didn’t marry, at all. Ever. I don’t think many women would have wanted that for themselves.
