rounded up -- not one I loved, but a really nice canal boat journey in which a sheltered girl running away from her well-off family learns not just how to deal with locks but also some lessons about her privilege.

reread it because I didn't remember having already done so when I saw it in a random pile....my original comment still stands. I wonder if future February 4ths will see me reading it again....
