My brain just exploded. Was just telling someone the other day about this novel - no one here's even heard of her anymore. And now a movie! Oh, boy! Movies are the Velveteen Rabbit of the world: they make everything real to most people. Grrr.
Oh, seconding that! I was recommending historical fiction for young people to someone the other day, and threw in and "of course there's Sutcliffe" at the end. It drew a "who?" Not quite as falbergasting as a similar conversation featuring a person wanting to hear about people who painted flowers and Georgia O'Keeffe -- but still!
