A Drowned Maiden's Hair

I just finished it (well, started and finished... I started it @ about 3:00 today and just finished it). It was fantastic, I highly recommend it. The character development was fantastic. It's an orphan story with some bizarre twists set in the early 1900's. The main character was this freaky mixture of Claidi, Max, and Ari. Weird huh? There's the whole "I just want to be loved" thing, but she's also a strong-willed troublemaker, but she's also tempted by pretty things and adventure and in the wrong place at the wrong time (in the outhouse singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic when Hyacinth Hawthorne came looking for an orphan to adopt... that was one damn weird sentence.) Well, that's all for now. Good night!
