Everyone remembers age 13. For Alison Glass, it was 1975, the year she moved to Weston, Connecticut, with her bohemian parents and her horse, Jazz. Life was about trying to navigate the hypocrisies of an unfamiliar affluent town and figuring out how she might blend in at school--despite her status as the new girl with a back brace for scoliosis. Kate Hamilton, the popular daughter of an egomaniacal New Age guru--the "sham shaman"--and his substance-loving wife, was an unlikely friend, the strong girl Alison regarded as her saving grace. Bonding over their love of horses, they rode away the afternoons, creating a private world for themselves as a way to survive the excesses of their surroundings and the adults who cast them adrift in such a tumultuous time. A picture emerges of a friendship that simply couldn't survive the weight of the shadows under which it was forged.--From publisher description.… (más)

Story of two girls from wealthy Weston, Connecticut in 1976. Allison is 12, has scoliosis, wears a back brace 23 hours a day, and has just moved to Weston with her painter mom and poet/professor dad. Luckily she has her horse Jazz to keep her grounded. Kate is 12, rich, popular, and doesn't care much about anything except her horse Peach. The two girls find a connection in their love of riding, and become inseparable as girls often do. But Allison's back is not getting better, her parents start falling apart and doing stupid things--but Kate's family is much, much worse and the pain of it might just turn out to be too much to take. Well written, poignant, disturbing, and sad. A pretty great book. ( )

I loved History Lesson for Girls; it was better than I expected. A very sad book. 4 out of 5 mysterious guys that randomly appear out of thin air right when something needs to be said. ( )

A good story, though, I thought it starts a little slow. ( )

SO good. If you're a fan of 'My Summer of Love,' then read this. ( )

A coming of age novel is not typical of the type of reading that I would normally recommend to my readers. However, the general theme of a young girl and her parents dealing with her scoliosis diagnosis struck a cord within me. Both my mother and daughter have scoliosis.
