I think of Charity in the same camp as Emma from Jane Austen. She is a female character who is a little rough around the edges, kind of mean and uppity, but she's funny and headstrong and you want to learn more about her as you cheer her on. The exploration of young love and life as a young woman with so few options was engaging and seeing how Charity struggled against her circumstances and worked to understand herself and her world made this a quick read. I found the main romantic relationships problematic and I wouldn't exactly say that Charity got a happy ending. I put the book down and felt as though I had gotten a peek into the life of a young woman and left her wishing her all the best.
