In her follow-up to the critically acclaimed novel The Anxiety of Everyday Objects, Aurelie Sheehan presents a moving coming-of-age story set in the disturbingly reckless and often hilariously tacky 1970s. In 1975, Alison Glass, age thirteen, moves to Connecticut with her bohemian parents and her horse, Jazz. Shy, observant, and in a back brace for scoliosis, Alison finds strength in an unlikely friendship with Kate Hamilton, the charismatic but troubled daughter of an egomaniacal New Age guru and his substance-loving wife. Seeking refuge from the chaos in their lives, the girls escape into the world of their horses. Rich in humor and heartbreak, History Lesson for Girls is an elegy to a friendship that meant everything.

History Lesson for Girls
This book has a very promising first couple of chapters, and the writing's nice, but I was ultimately disappointed. Maybe someone who enjoys more adult books would think differently, but I felt this basically epitomized what I generally find wrong with adult books. It meandered around without any truly strong plot arc. Yes, it's about the narrator, Allie, and her friendship with Kate. It's about her watching Kate's life become worse and worse. It's about her own parents' marriage crumbling, in part due to Kate's awful dad. But the writing, while good, seems so uninterested in its story. The narrative is so removed from everything, which is one of my least favorite things in any book. I'm not sure History Lesson for Girls did anything new with its subject matter.
