Grenada's Library

[lonespark]

I guess this isn't not a book review, of sorts.

Dear Most Admirable Internet Acquaintance,

I have come rushing home to say,

I have read a story
in the lesbian steampunk anthology
Steam-Powered 2,

"Grenada's Library."

It is about women
who are brave and wise and strong and faithful
and old and frail and doubtful
(and also girls
who are brave and revolutionary
and very foolish).

They are Christians and Muslims and Jews
and secularists
and heretics
and lovers

They are leaders
(and followers, and saboteurs, and mechanics)
and they are,
first
and last
and in their pure, true Selves

Librarians

and so I thought of you.
