    I though I'd read all of her books but I think I missed this one! I must add it to my list of "to read"s.

    OH MY GOD I used to love Lois Duncan's books. I think I've read all of them!


    My favorite was and still is "Stranger with my Face."

    Wow I have never heard of Lois Duncan, she obviously didn't cross the Atlantic, but just wow, you make this sound like the most crazy book ever written, just entirely insane. I have to read it. How about Ada Lovelace for a suitable dead mathematician though Lois?

    I remember now!!! I read this! They all produce these magical works at night...oh how I LOVE this trope--girl sent away to ominous boarding school and tortured both by adolescence AND the supernatural!! There was another great boarding school book--might be by Madeleine L'Engel, that was SO good. In Switzerland. Anybody know that one?

    @Pocahaunted: mine too and all the apple computers in the world don't make up for it. It really upsets me that there is still controversy about whether or not to elect a statue in his honour in Manchester. Still.

    @AndYourLittleDogToo: I love that book. I'm not sure - were we supposed to think feminists were deranged, violent terrorists or that they were totally awesome? Whatever. I came down firmly on the side of awesome and of doing what needs to be done, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
