4.0

A really interesting story that ends up being an interesting commentary on women during the Gilded Age. The storytelling kind of zooms in on one situation for a little while, then zooms out and moves on to the next situation (which may be days, weeks, months, or years later). This method works in immersing the reader with a specific character for a while before moving on to the next one. I wish Nan St. George was real!
