My highest recommendation for this novel. The simplicity and leanness with which it was written covered such complex and layered topics, and did them full justice. Simply excellent.

Read with Grade 9 in mind - theme of identity. Might work - especially with the narrator working in two time periods and referring to herself in the third person when she talks about her past. A good book, not great but interesting and potentially thought provoking for grade 9s. It's lack of action might make it a hard sell for some, but it's length makes it accessible for in-class study.
