School Reading Can Be Fun!

Recently I was required to read this book for an AP Language course. We read the book in tandem with Shakespeare's King Lear. The parallels are uncanny. Not only does one appreciate Smiley's approach to the characters from Ginny's point of view, one comes to appreciate a new side of Lear's characters from King Lear's point of view! I very much recommend a study of the novel in conjunction with the Shakespeare version of the text.
