The Year-god’s Daughter as required reading

An author, once she or he publishes that debut novel, imagines, expects, and hopes for many things. I am no different. Something I never anticipated, however, was becoming a college assignment.
A professor at the university in question happened upon The Year-god’s Daughter. She read it and contacted me to let me know she was assigning it to her spring 2013 semester class. They’ll be writing up essays on the culture and ideologies covered in the book.
She asked me to provide a statement about my research, which I was happy to do and which was fun to write, though it taxed my memory. Eight pages later, I felt like I was back in class myself!
To those students in the class who dislike historical fantasy, love stories, and/or class assignments, I’m sorry you’re being dragged through this, (and I do remember some of my own university assignments…. some better loved than others….)
First and foremost, I sincerely hope the tale is enjoyed!

Wow, that is awesome! Congratulations.
Thanks Greta.
Congratulations. You should be so proud and yeah, it would be fun to read the papers.
I think this is so incredible! All those hours of work on your part are paying off and you’re able to share what you’ve learned. Simply fantastic!
I am one of those university students writing this paper as I type , can I say allnighter? Great book so far though!
Happy to hear it, Sally. Good luck on the essay, and I do apologize for not having more information available on dress, etc.
