A most creative story and I liked it very much. Taking place in the late 1800s, it depicts the story of a young girl who can absorb information at an astonishing rate and put information into patterns that affect the future of the country in which she finds herself living when her father dies in an explosion. Traumatized by this event she finds herself cared for by her father's good friend. She is set to reading the works of many classical thinkers and philosophers. The story is simple, magical and delightful. This author is so talented that I hope to read more of his work!
