Great story and Andersen has a tremendous knowledge of history. Good characters which you want to follow....EAF

There are gender, racial, and class stories here, woven together and depicted so entertainingly. It's fun to trace all of it to movements of the sixties and today and I got the feeling I was meant to. No problem there - was happy to learn about my activist ancestors and the forces that affected them and, conversely, ways in which they affected things.
