Movie Haiku:2 girls, born in a London hospital on the day the USA bombed Hiroshima, are now teenager BFFs. The title implies 2 POVs, but this is Ginger’s arc. She doesn’t have these words yet, but we know she is learning first-hand the great feminist rallying cry of the Sixties: “The Personal is Political." For Jan this was all right on point, but for Rich a bit more academic.
