A woman's place in the late Victorian period and early twentieth century was very restricted. Young girls of the poor were working by the age of thirteen. Girls of the better off were often used as domestic servants. Only young ladies of the landed gentry or the rich had a chance to just look pretty and get married to a suitable gentleman. Being born outside wedlock (for both girls and boys) was a curse. Pregnant single girls were often shunned. Of course there were exceptions and this story is about two girls with gifts that allowed them to enjoy life and serve their country. Being born on the edge of Birmingham they were Brummies unrestricted by their birth place. They made a very good impression working in a far off land and enjoyed what they were doing while making many of their own decisions.

When Daniel Smith sets out on a crime-as-performance-art spree (known as the "Crime Artist" around town for blowing up cans of paint in bank vaults) fueled in part by the sudden death of his mother (who revisits him, spitefully, as a ghost), he never expects to be forcefully joined by two adherents to his youthful idealist cause: Zach, a sharply honest androgynous blonde, and Lucy, an insouciant voluptuous beauty. On the run from the police as well as from the aching doldrums of life in Lincoln, Nebraska, the three are determined to "change the world" by expanding on Daniel's original series of art crimes. A folksy cast of characters brings together a surrealist romp of a book that toys with questions of art and life, humor and sex, beauty and the absurd. It's a snowstorm, it's a rainbow riot, it's a blazing mad costume party. Read it, if you dare.
