I guess the book is getting a little better but I'm still waiting... :)
OK so in Chapter 2 I thought it was smart of the girl (I'm confused on her name-- do we call her what Rambanai calls her or the name on the cover or...?) to make her own field to grow "mealies" to raise money for school. Her father really seems like a jerk from the POV of people in our time but I guess he was pretty normal for then. Her mother has a strange way of showing emotion by discouragement as a lesson and her sisters seem sweet and nice.
Her brother I find to be really a jerk-- I see why she ended up not really liking him and I understand why she felt guilty about not liking him at the end. He seems to think he is better than the rest of his family because of his education. The end of the chapter, after she old some "Mealies" and got looked at weird and talked about by the others because of her working at a young age was cool insight int other views of people at the time.
Maybe I'll end up liking this book...
