The sweet girl : a novel

Summary: Aristotle's little Pytho is smart, able to best his own students in debate and match wits with Athenian philosophers. She is (mostly) secure in her father's regard. But then Alexander dies a thousand miles from Athens, and sentiment turns against anyone associated with him, especially his Macedonian- born teacher. Aristotle and his family are forced to flee, and Aristotle soon dies. And his orphaned daughter, only 16, finds that the world is a place of superstition, not logic, and that a girl can be played upon by gods, goddesses, men, and women.
