    <body><![CDATA[Paula Nangle's debut novel, The Leper Compound, is a book I won't soon forget. I'm tempted to call it a novel-in-stories as each chapter is perfectly self-contained and yet the whole does provide one full narrative.

I found it very disjointing and it did not in my mind really address the political issues and the ramifications for a girl/woman growing up in this country. ]]></body>

But it's not a light read and it's due back at the library, so I'm going to let it go and pick it up again when I can give it the concentrated set of hours it deserves. Good winter book.]]></body>
