“Walton shines, as she always does, in the small and hurtful and glorious business of interpersonal relationships...this book about philosophy, history, gender and freedom also manages to be a spectacular coming-of-age tale that encompasses everything from courtroom dramas to sexual intrigue.” —Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing on The Just City

“A remarkable novel of ideas…Superb. In the end, the novel does more than justice to the idea of the Just City.” —Booklist, starred review, on The Just City
