Vinegar Girl

Anne Tyler. You know what you get when you get Anne Tyler. You get difficult people. Antisocial people. People who don't get along well with others. Irritating people.

You get people like Vinegar Girl. A girl with bite.

And then she meets her match. Anne Tyler's good at that.

(And so, by the way, is Shakespeare. Hint, hint. Think Taming of the Shrew.)
