This is my favorite book I have ever read. I bought it the first time I was in Scotland and took it the second time I went so I could read it there again. Beatiful book.
** spoiler alert ** Interesting book. Sixteen year old girl tells story of an 18 year old "foster sister" who comes to stay with her family. Unravels the story of her life, insights into the "sister". Tragic life, really. Uncle ?kills girlfriend?, shoots himself but survives, retarded. Girl and uncle's friend have a sexual encouter. . . statutory rape if not out-right non-consensual. "Sister" murders boyfriend, tries to hide by burning the body in girl's family's store's furnance, gas leak, store burns, uncle's friend inside. "Sister" runs away, girl goes on.
Interesting approach to development. Its main argument is that development is to provide capabilities and enhance individual freedoms, which I strongly agree. All of his "rationalist reform" talk and overemphasis in Adam Smith's free market made it a quite an exhaustive - if not repetitive - combination of chapters.
