Reviews
On Oct 16 2010, ElectricEel said:
Well written and - surprisingly - with no obvious political agenda, but Vita Sackville-West occasionally skydives to conclusions without a parachute. For example: V. S.-W. interprets one witness's testimony as meaning that they thought they had some mystical means of determining whether a girl was a virgin. Not necessarily. The testimony could just as well mean that the witness thought that she could tell from Joan's behavior that Joan was a virgin.
