Moore preserves the heteroglossia of the novel, its rich impasto of spoken and written styles whose incompatibility is one of its deep subjects. Moore’s new version strikes me as remarkable, extraordinarily well pitched, finding the right levels of colloquialism and eloquence. Readers find themselves caught up in a drama of heteroglossia that propels not only the plot but the entire historical resurrection that Manzoni attempts. The novel from its start becomes polyphonic or what one can call, in Mikhail Bakhtin’s term, 'heteroglossic'-a linguistic theater with a multisided clash of voices. It’s a startling new way to write history within fiction. What we get is not only an evocation of past languages of authority attempting to order a messy reality but an interpretive sociolinguistic game of high stakes. The result is not only a historical novel but a kind of historiographical novel that invites the reader to enter the dynamic of reading and writing history. Manzoni embeds his sources in his text-citations from the gride and old chronicles such as Giuseppe Ripamonti’s Historia patria.

Yet aspects of her thinking have changed over time. Thirty years after the publication of Anzaldua and Moraga's collection This Bridge Called My Back, a landmark of women-of-color feminism, Moraga's literary and political praxis remains motivated by and intertwined with indigenous spirituality and her identity as Chicana lesbian. Moraga describes her deepening grief as she loses her mother to Alzheimer's pays poignant tribute to friends who passed away, including the sculptor Marsha Gomez and the poets Alfred Arteaga, Pat Parker, and Audre Lorde and offers a heartfelt essay about her personal and political relationship with Gloria Anzaldua. She considers decade-defining public events such as 9/11 and the campaign and election of Barack Obama, and she explores socioeconomic, cultural, and political phenomena closer to home, sharing her fears about raising her son amid increasing urban violence and the many forms of dehumanization faced by young men of color. Combining moving personal stories with trenchant political and cultural critique, the writer, activist, teacher, dramatist, mother, daughter, comadre, and lesbian lover looks back on the first ten years of the twenty-first century.

What I learned from the settings or the time periods were that the rebles (Americans), the British and the German were fighting against eachother and people lived a hard life because paying for food was hard and taking care of your family was hard too. But then it gets emotional at the end because at the end John Andre (Mayor) gets hanged because they found out that he was a traitor and a spy. I also though that the story was boring in the middle of the book because nothing really happened and in the middle it was mostly Sophia was talking to people and traveling places to find people. I felt like the story was exciting in the beginning because tragic things happened in the beginning, like how a man got hanged because of being a spy and like how William (Sophia's brother) died when Sophia (Main Character) went to give him food. We call it a “mineral”- something inorganic yet naturally occurring. It’s both chunky and thin, both a mass and a façade. In particular, we love how the house sits on the land, holds shadows, and reframes the landscape. It’s our most complete work to date, and it brought together many ideas and techniques that we tested in earlier projects, such as Mood Ring House, Reflects, and our unbuilt Split Personality House.
