Crossing Stones by Helen Frost
5.0
Helen Frost dazzles me every time.
Helen Frost's skill with form would be enough to impress me. But here, as in Keesha's House, Frost also engages with timely, important issues. Crossing Stones tackles issues of war protest, censorship, suffrage, and the cultural pressures to marry and have children. And while touching on all of these issues, it maintains a depth of emotion.
I would suggest reading Frost's afterward on the form first. I think it would have greatly informed my reading, rather than getting it after the fact, and going back to reread.
Highly recommended!
