I was enthralled on my first reading at age 12. Mitchell can tell a good yarn and write dialog that crackles. Her mix of feminism and romanticism nicely encapsulates the confusion in many a teen girl's heart. But that doesn't excuse her glamorizing of a primitive, racist, anti-Semitic society. Impressionable children of any age will use her fiction to justify their worst impulses.
