An incredible journey!

On its way to Lelley in the U.K. as an exchange.

didn't get into this much,available now.

Received today, thank you very much.

From the blurb:

"Adopted into an evangelical household in the dour industrial Midlands - where the heaten are everywhere, especially next door - Jeanette cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God's elect. She knows all the verses to 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus,' and she very little about the world. Although never exactly lamblike, Jeanette embroiders grim religious mottoes and shakes her little tambourine for Jesus like a good missionary-to-be.

"But as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the perculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles. Her mother, the pastor, and the flock go to work on Jeannette's demons, denouncing her as someone 'to whom it is impossible to speak the truth'. Yet Jeannette's insistence on listening to the truths of her ownb heart and mind - and in reporting them with wit and passion - makes for an unforgettable chronicle of an eccentric, moving rite of apssage into adulthood."

This was a very interesting book to read. One of my university modules this year is on sexuality, and so it was good to read about someone's experiences. Am glad it was short, though, as I didn't really like it as a book that much; I also didn't really think that the myths were necessary, although they did reflect the plot, in a way, I suppose.

Will be sent off to its next reader within the next week.

got it a week ago, forgot to register it...
