Charlotte and Lucy are two teenage sisters at opposite ends of the traditional academic success curve, until the daring Lucy meets an encouraging rebellious teacher, starts writing, and runs away with him when she is sixteen. The novel turns innocent to dark to nostalgic, and keeps you turning the pages, even though too many parallel backstories break the artful story structure after midpoint, and leave 70s context dangling.
