(4) YA Summering with her snooty relatives in 1926 Excelsior, Minnesota, sixteen-year-old aspiring ornithologist Garnet falls in love with dazzling flapper Isabella. The narrative voice is oddly prescriptive and analytical (her cousin's confession of debt leaves Garnet reflecting "now there was an interesting complexity to her character"), but the uniqueness of the story's setting and plot offset the clunkiness of its telling.
