In Katherine's classroom, repression and rebellion meet head-on-and the consequences are both tragic and liberating. 2292063 1995 Katherine total:173|5:28|4:57|3:73|2:10|1:5| 173 612 249 18 230994 0425180239 9780425180235 156 18 3.54 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172929066m/230994.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/230994.Katherine 3 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jul 09 20:42:19 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 15:25:23 -0700 2009
