A review by bearbugpig
The Pox Party by M.T. Anderson

4.0

I couldn't put this one down. I like how a review on the back described it: "A brilliantly complex interrogation of our basic American assumptions. Anderson has created an alternative narrative of our national mythology, one that fascinates, appalls, condemns - and enthralls." It takes place in the years leading up to the American Revolution as seen through the eyes of the boy Octavian, and is not nearly as simple as that sounds. A thought provoking read.
