Fabulous young adult novel with a strong female character, Meg Moore, who demonstrates the struggle of female writers in colonial times. This book uses its setting cleverly to help readers understand what 17h century England was like as well as the dangers of travel and the "new worlds" that Edward Gosse experiences. Great "love triangle" story, too! I know my high school girls would enjoy this book - the characters are complex and strong in their convictions. I teach colonial American literature, but I really think this novel could be a great summer reading choice or even a supplemental book while we study colonial narratives and Puritan female writers like Anne Bradstreet.… (plus d'informations)

I had to cover up with a throw as I read this book...it was so good at describing the terrible conditions of England at this time. Since I really like historical fiction and also like stories of people who overcome incredible difficulties, I loved this book. I wish more students would read books like this; it would give them a perspective on the difficulties that some people have in the world.
Kit and Christy were identical twins. But Christy was "simple-minded". It was very cold the winter that Kit ran away to London to make his own way in life, leaving Christy behind.
