Title: Blackbird Pond
Review: I read this great, great story as a kid, and I'm not sure I've ever learned more from one book.At that age, seeing the protagonist (a good girl!) consider marrying for social reasons, not romantic ones, was revolutionary for me. This portrait of the English colonies, the Puritans, the tropical plantations, the slavery, the daily life in 1600s New Hampshire were a very entertaining education.This book is a little girly. Romance is a major theme.In addition to history, this book teaches a lot about getting along with people vastly different from yourself without giving up your identity.
