One thing that struck me when I read it and your review reminded me of that, it the bad choices people made were made due to society's expectation of them and not their own. Of course, at that time people had fewer choices in general but I think that's a point the author's trying to make because she made som very unconventional choices in her own life. Thanks for you review, I think it's a great book even if you don't like everything about it.Kyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629307106823419984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-950281388690790992009-06-17T14:16:59.348-05:002009-06-17T14:16:59.348-05:00Great review!

I'd also like to read <i>Silas Marner</i>, which my son has recommended to me.Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.com
