The sweet girl : a novel / Annabel Lyon. by Lyon, Annabel, 1971- Random House Canada, c2012. Call #: FICTION LYO Subjects Aristotle -- Family -- Fiction.   Aristotle -- Fiction.   Women -- Social conditions -- 4th century -- Fiction.   Women -- Intellectual life -- Fiction.   Orphans -- Fiction.   Greece -- History -- Macedonian Expansion, 359-323 B.C. -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780307359445 Description:  236 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Pythias is her father's daughter, with eyes his exact shade of unlovely, intelligent grey. A slave to his own curiosity and intellect, Aristotle has never been able to resist wit in another--even in a girl child who should be content with the kitchen, the loom and a life dictated by the womb. And oh his little Pytho is smart, able to best his own students in debate and match wits with a roomful of Athenian philosophers. Is she a freak or a harbinger of what women can really be? Pythias must suffer that argument, but she is also (mostly) secure in her father's regard. But then Alexander dies a thousand miles from Athens, and sentiment turns against anyone associated with him, most especially his famous Macedonian-born teacher. Aristotle and his family are forced to flee to Chalcis, a garrison town. Ailing, mourning and broken in spirit, Aristotle soon dies. And his orphaned daughter, only 16, finds out that the world is a place of superstition, not logic, and that a girl can be played upon by gods and goddesses, as much as by grown men and women. To safely journey to a place in which she can be everything she truly is, Aristotle's daughter will need every ounce of wit she possesses, but also grace and the capacity to love."--Publisher.
