I chose this book for our book group, based on some of the reviews I'd read. It was every bit as good as most people thought, and every member of our group enjoyed it. It also provoked some good discussion - to think how easy it was to "put away" girls and women who didn't fit the mold, in years past, was horrifying. More horrifying still is that there are places where this can and does still happen.

A good read, great for discussion. It would be an interesting book to share with young adult women (there is some talk of sex, so not VERY young), as well.
