A moving portrait of how hard it is to be a teenager. Plus real fairies.

A smart, thrilling, action-packed, feminist dystopia.

A brief, haunting novella...Johnson brilliantly describes the movement from living in a mythopoetic inner space to a
modern, technological, self-conscious sensibility. The book is about an American living only a century ago- for the older
among us, only a little older than our grandparents- but it describes a way of thinking that is almost unrecognizable
today. It can be read over and over, and should be.

Truly moving and beautifully written.

Frigid cold and blowing snow will intensify this classic about the horrors of the Russian Gulag system, and the remarkable ability of the human body and spirit to endure and persevere.

Both books look at situations that have been long neglected and shed light on the human suffering involved in a way that touched me deeply.

Truly moving and beautifully written.
