Summary: After the City Council declares that her uncles' towers must be demolished due to nitpicky details of the law (really because they're hurting property values, but who's to judge), Margaret is determined to save them. But it sure won't be easy saying as the law is technically against her...
Thoughts: This book as a style of writing that requires one to read it patiently and thouroughly because one couldn't possibly go back and read it again. It just isn't done. And somehow that's an asset, because it takes skill to write a book that makes such demands.
This book reminds me of another, probably by the same author, where people use roughly the same tactic to achieve their end. That's ~all I remember about it, unfortunately.
There's something about the book that's just wonderful: the planning, the way everything comes together in the end, ...whatever it is, it makes me happy. Actually it doesn't; it seems to have made me thoughtful. But close enough. I enjoyed it, in a thoughtful kind of way. Maybe that's the point I was trying to make. And if that doesn't make sense, blame the fact that it's after 2:30 am and words are escaping me with regards to describing my reaction to the book. Why do I bother with this anyway? Because I can? I guess that's as good a reason as any. I guess I should get some sleep at some point, too.
