kareila: a lady in glasses holding a stack of books (books)

I enjoyed reading of Octavian's residence in Boston in 1775, but after he enlisted to fight in Virginia, the narrative grew gradually more heartbreaking. In the end, all he has left is a scant handful of bosom companions and the merest of hopes that they might find a free place to live out their days, hidden from the tyrannies of Revolutionaries and British alike.

I'm shocked this was published as YA. It's subversive even by adult standards. God bless it.
