Smith is such a wonderful character-builder and storyteller. She always picks the most unexpected and creative plots, and this was no exception. I found this book fascinating, informative, and thought provoking. Eliza Touchet was a great character - I found her self-reflection and imperfect activism to be so realistic and timeless. 

It was a little hard to follow via audiobook, especially because I kept having to stop for a few weeks while I waited to borrow again.
