4.0

I did not like the ending. This is what happens when theology messes with a good story. But regardless, the only reason I didn't give this short but amazing book a perfect score is because of the dated and rampant misogyny in the proceedings.

The author was so obscure. She wrote a sterling book, never broke out of anonymity, and her work has been neglected cruelly.

I was happy, having read a book that carried a low expectation. Lately, my ratings have leaned towards negativism, but I hope to discover more gems like this one.
