  4. Quaker principles meet romance cliches in The Last Runaway

    Among historical novelists, the Anglo-American writer Tracy Chevalier has carved out a nifty niche for herself. She culls the centuries for settings in which to drop initially shy but ultimately strong-willed young heroines caught up in social, romantic and/or political entanglements that bring them into conflict with others, in particular those with power over them. Along the way she judiciously sprinkles the results of her careful research into the manners and mores of the epoch in question, allowing readers to learn about the past (especially as it reflects on the present) even as they luxuriate in the somewhat guiltier pleasures of erotic attraction, much of it ill-considered, forbidden or both.
