Great book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Wow! This book was fantastic. I won't summarize the plot since the professional reviewers above have already done so (although a word of advice -- don't read Kirkus Reviews, on this book or EVER -- they have a tendency to casually give away plot twists and surprises). I'll just give it my seal of approval.
Supprisingly good

I had to read this book for school and I thought I wouldn't like it at first. Then, when I started reading I got sucked in. I somehow could identify with the characters in this book. All of the profanity and drinking in this story I think added to it rather than subtracted from it. I recomed you read this book.
A wonderful example of historical fiction

This was a wonderful book, and I really enjoyed it. It has very real examples of mother-daughter differences. Honor Bright was very realistic from the 1940's point of view. It has a shocking suprise ending. I highly reccommend this book for young adults. This book is a must-buy!
A Truly Adult Novel for the Young Adult.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
It's refreshing to find a fine author like Platt writing for young adults, and not down to them. Platt speaks the language of the 1944 adolescent, as it was actually spoken, and not as we like to remember it. A novel dripping with truth, not platitude. The reader can only hope that Platt writes more just like it
