gwynnega | Ellen Klages - The Green Glass Sea

Last night on my way home from work I finished listening to the audiobook of Ellen Klages's novel The Green Glass Sea. It's about two preteen misfit girls living at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. I can't think of another book that captures so perfectly being a preteen misfit girl (I remember it well!). It's also a remarkably successful historical novel, political novel, and novel of ideas (science and mathematics). It manages to be both cozy/heartwarming and utterly chilling.

Today I got an email from the public library: the audiobook I requested of Georgette Heyer's The Devil's Cub is in! Yay.
