again: read for the GD summer challenge and a first time read. I didn't care for it. Kit, the main character, starts as a whiny complainer who obviously didn't think through her decision to leave the wealth and ease of Barbados for the unknown puritanism of the new world. I had little sympathy for her. head-strong and impulsive, she invited every danger that came her way. I imagine her willfulness would endear her to a younger reader, but I had no patience.
