Wow.
I've just finished All Over Creation, and Frankie's letter from Seattle makes me think that when I briefly moved there, I should have gone earlier; I could have involved myself in the demonstrations there. I went the following June, and by then it was nearly-forgotten history in the minds of those I met. I suppose, though, that it wouldn't have really been fruitful for me to have been there during that time, since I've never been particularly political. Now, however, I'm inspired to try to learn more about the events of that time and place.
That was an excellent story, and after reading the acknowledgements after the end, I'm glad to know that the author's parents were quite different from those she wrote for Yumi.
