I usually give books 40 pages to grab my interest. I found the Puritanical speech of the 17th century difficult to get into but I'm glad I gave it a chance past the 40 pages. The story line is great and I found I wanted to learn more about the deprivation and strife to learn of females of this time period. I was drawn in by the lead female character, Bethia and her struggle and determination to further her knowledge in a male educational society.
