![]() ![]() I'm sobbing because once again, I have read such an amazing book that it has wiped the words away from my mind and I am unable to write a cohesive review. This was very very well done and I highly highly recommend it. There was a major symbolism of fireflies and how it represented both the men, women, and children who were slaves along with the views of women as being inferior to men. It's just so beautifully written because she chose to use symbols and metaphors which just amplified the beauty of poetry in verse. ![]() In fact it was her work that pushed Sweden to give partial voting rights to its women as early at 1860!Įngle has chosen to create her tale amidst Bremer's 3 month journey to Cuba in which she shows her skill in verse poetry intermingling the beauty of Cuba with poisonous jabs of the ongoing slavery and treatment of women. This book of verse tells the tale of Fredrika Bremer, a Swedish women who was Sweden's first women novelist and one of the earliest advocates of women's rights. Both books have earned tons of awards and medal but I felt it was really deserved for this book. This book was a gigantic step up from Hurricane Dancers!Īgain told in verse but there was a huge difference in craft. ![]()
