During the resulting trudge through the woods, the girls each admit to an attraction to girls (Millie is bi and Flora is gay), and they reach a turning point, starting to fall for each other. During the annual wilderness challenge, Flora sends their camping gear downriver in another scheme to get sent home. Flora repeatedly tries to get kicked out of school, and Millie often finds herself dragged along for the ride. The gorgeous and glamorous Princess Flora of Scotland is rude and condescending, and the two girls can barely co-exist. It’s a dream come true (hello, local rock samples) until Millie’s roommate arrives. Keen geologist Amelia “Millie” Quint is spending her senior year in the Scottish Highlands, at the prestigious Gregorstoun school. A Texas teen enrolls in a Scottish boarding school in this fresh spin on the commoner/royal romance. What was the most surprising thing you learned as you were writing the book?Ī lot of the book is an account of the many things that have surprised me in my own research over the past decade and a half. In essence, when we peer out at the world through our own eyes, we don’t see ourselves or the role we play in creating the social situations we are in. We underestimate the extent to which our own behaviors contribute to group norms-e.g., how talking about the solar panels we had installed shapes the rest of the group’s ideas about how normative it is to have solar panels. For example, we underestimate the extent to which our own presence shapes group discussions-like how group members tune the things they say to match what they know or assume about us. When we observe the interactions and social norms of the groups we are in, we tend to underestimate the role we ourselves play in contributing to those group dynamics. What does your book teach us about group dynamics? Vanessa, you must be as excited as we are that our books are so close to taking flight. It’s the end of March and, observing the new social distancing protocol, we’re speaking over Zoom – Kimmerer, from her home office outside Syracuse, New York me from shuttered South Williamsburg in Brooklyn, where the constant wail of sirens are a sobering reminder of the pandemic. All the ways that they live I just feel are really poignant teachings for us right now.” “What is it that has enabled them to persist for 350m years, through every kind of catastrophe, every climate change that’s ever happened on this planet, and what might we learn from that?” She lists the lessons “of being small, of giving more than you take, of working with natural law, sticking together. She grins as if thinking of a dogged old friend or mentor. Her first book, published in 2003, was the natural and cultural history book Gathering Moss. “T his is a time to take a lesson from mosses,” says Robin Wall Kimmerer, celebrated writer and botanist. Attitude problems aside, after all, Gardner does provide great advice and a clear theoretical approach to writing fiction.įor practical purposes, the second half of the book, devoted to a discussion of common mistakes and how to avoid them, is particularly useful. He frequently comes off as a pompous jerk, but he's a pompous jerk who knows his stuff. Reading Gardner's book requires the ability to let condescension and elitism slide. (Particularly troublesome for me is his repeated dismissal and unwarranted criticism of literature teachers.) It is mostly sound advice for those who wish to write fiction in the tradition of the "greats" (e.g., classical literature and such relatively modern writers as Tolstoy and Melville), but it is provided with a heaping side dish of condescension for everyone else. And his tastes definitely color the advice he gives. The first half of the book is devoted to more theoretical discussions of the art of fiction, some of which is very useful and some of which is quite particular to Gardner's own literary tastes. Gardner's book strives to offer more than the multitude of alternatives do, however, and, generally, I'd say he succeeds. This is one of very, very many books on how to write fiction.

Rod Campbell makes books for babies and toddlers, the best known being Dear Zoo, which has sold over two million copies worldwide. In some ways, Alice resembles the ideal female character of the period, but there are also several ways in which she breaks the mold, such as in her willingness to assert herself and her ability to think.Īlice is introduced initially as a young lady in training. When it was published, many young girls saw themselves as Alice figures, identifying themselves with something they saw in Alice’s behavior. The most important things they had to learn were how to control themselves, how to play music, and how to sew. They were expected to be quiet and demure and to always listen to their elders and the male members of society. They were not expected to be clever and did not have any rights of their own that would allow them to make any of their own decisions. |
