The profanity never crossed my radar and I agree with the comment above concerning the well written sex scenes. YA lit is not my first love among genres but I believe this book really stands out in the field. Lovely, just lovely!<br />

There are other connections -- the title is from one of her poems and Helen reads some Emily when she wants something comforting. </p>Leila commented on '<i>A Certain Slant of Light</i> -- Laura Whitcomb'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e54ef0496b88342007-09-11T22:53:02Z2007-09-11T22:53:03ZLeilahttp://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.comThe f-bomb got dropped at few times, in various forms -- maybe six or seven times -- I probably wouldn't...<p>The f-bomb got dropped at few times, in various forms -- maybe six or seven times -- I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't read those one-star reviews.</p>(monkey) steve commented on '<i>A Certain Slant of Light</i> -- Laura Whitcomb'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e54edb9ef288332007-09-11T22:51:57Z2007-09-11T22:51:58Z(monkey) steveSo she's 157 or so? did she hang out with Emily Dickinson?

'cuz I've got a huge soft spot for Ms. Dickinson, and while the book looks interesting to me, I wouldn't be able to handle a ham-handed treatment of her.</p>Gail commented on '<i>A Certain Slant of Light</i> -- Laura Whitcomb'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e54edb9dab88332007-09-11T22:44:14Z2007-09-11T22:44:14ZGailhttp://www.gailgauthier.com/blogger.htmlI don't remember the profanity, but I thought the sex was some of the best I've ever seen in a...<p>I don't remember the profanity, but I thought the sex was some of the best I've ever seen in a YA novel.</p>
