So, when the power goes out, I read on my Kindle. I am almost finished with the Zola novel I started last night. I'm not enjoying it, because it features the nastiest child character I think I've ever come across in a novel. I have absolutely no sympathy with her. I also know she'll die as a punishment to her mother. And I'm actually cheering for her death to come quickly. She makes Nell from Olde Curiosity Shop seem less pathetic than she otherwise is.
