It's like 1920s Mississippi, right?
And she's dodging people she knows.
So Bertie is one of our main characters.
The other main character is Meg, who is this plucky...
lovable, intelligent, fierce orphan who has suffered the particular wrath of the sort of overseer of the orphanage.
She's really made to suffer, but she's a tenacious kid.
I think she's like 12 or something, and she's really, really got a lot of self-possession.
So Birdie's family is in a financial crisis.
So Birdie has to go to her sister, ask for money.
This is where she meets Meg because she starts volunteering at the orphanage.
I told you this was overstuffed.
Joyfully overstuffed.
Please remember, joyfully overstuffed.
Anyway, before long, their lives intersect.
There is illicit activity going on.
And this is just like, this is a book that moves.
There's a lot of plot.
It's exciting.
And it's funny.
I so rarely laugh at books.
