Vejas,
Just wondering what you meant by it being "banal." Perhaps, expanding upon
that would be a discussion about style.
Good job,
Donna

Hi All,
Thank so much for these of you who read this book review and comwithed.  To
answer a few questions:
Yes, the site source is in MLA format.
The reason I thought it was strange about the girl who was gay in Victorian
England being so open was because I thought most people always hid it and
always played happy families by being in a heterosexual relationship.  Thank
you so much for educating me on this, Bridgit; I'll probably just get rid of
this part.
Yes, I agree that it can't really be her fault about the cultural aspect
because she mostly grew up in America and in an English community in
Portugal, so this is what she knows.  I guess writing about that in the
review makes it unfair.  It would be like if I wanted a chicken sandwich but
went to In and Out and judged it for not having the sandwiches.
Could I just ask what you mean by "style?" What about her writing should I
be commenting on exactly? I know that in fiction books you can criticise the
plot but you can't do that with memoirs.
Thanks,
Vejas
