5/28: finally reading

...The Long Secret by Louise Fitzhugh.  I'm a long-time fan of Harriet the Spy, and I don't know why I never read this second novel containing Harriet.  In a way it's fortunate that I waited until now; its themes feel especially resonant with my thoughts and worries these days, and I'm not sure that would have been as much the case if I had read it earlier.
