A flickering light

I loved this book. It's a gentle story of a fifteen year girl with a passion for photography, at a time when women weren't encouraged to have careers of their own. Over the next three years, she develops not only her skills as a photographer, but also her desire as a young woman for a man who is not available in more ways than one. What I especially loved was Jane Kirkpatrick's prose. Simple, thoughtful, and elegant. I was also intrigued by that period of history, the early twentieth century, when automobiles were rare, and photography could be a dangerous pursuit due to the chemicals needed to develop film. I am now interested in reading more by this author.
