Confession: I never read the Dark Is Rising series!

She's able to show that the 1830s American South was a terrible place for white women, but the experiences of such women do not lead to any sense of solidarity or empathy with the black people around them who are suffering even greater iniquities.

YES. She's SO good at this. She has profound compassion for these women but she never lets them off the hook for the way they benefit from the system they're in. It's kind of amazing how fantastic Hambly is at exploring that.

I started A Brightness Long Ago and was enjoying it but got distracted by other things (I think that's when Piranesi arrived). But I got far enough for the Ammar poem and it did things to my insides!!!
