I just finished it today and I LOVED it! I’m making my way through the Discworld books all willynilly, but out of the ones I’ve read so far I think this is my favorite. It was hilarious and somehow…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years agoMap of Ireland by Stephanie Grant is set in Boston in the 1970’s and deals with coming out and race issues from the perspective of a teenage girl. I watched The Weather Underground documentary not too long ago which turned out to be great historical context for this book.
