I should count myself lucky that she had “Germinal” by Emile Zola as a book we could read for extra credit. It was many years later that I realized that was a good leftist (well, I don’t know Emile’s politics that well) book, and maybe one of the things that helped me get to where I am today.
I suspect she hadn’t read it, though.
