The story is split into three books: one for the daughter Rayona, the mother Christine, and the grandmother Ida. The more you read into the story the more the puzzle pieces fit together about certain events within the story and why the characters act in a certain way. Really amazing and currently my favourite book!(less)

My book group read (loved) this book when it first came out (1987 I see). I am in a different state and a different group now and think of suggesting an old favorite for a future meeting. I am wondering if this book holds up. Are there other recommendations of 'old faves' that would be good to revisit?

I read this book years ago and remember loving it. I am developing a unit on banned/challenged novels for my 8th grade students. Do you think this would be appropriate for use in an 8th grade classroom?
