reviewed Sustainability, human ecology, and the collapse of complex societies on December 03, 2008
Sustainability
This has an interesting premise starting with the heroine busking and trying to survive on the streets of London. She's seventeen and homeless after running away when her mother catches her drunken stepfather trying to rape her, and falsely accuses her of seducing him.
This could have been a stronger read, but the heroine actually ends up wearing the reader down. Granted her chip on the shoulder and combativeness is necessary to portray her survival on the streets of London. However, it gets overplayed as she continues to shovel it out while living in a safe environment surrounded by friends who care for her.
I typically like this authors' work, but this one missed the mark.
