Hi all
I have found my way over here from Bookrabbit. I'm a sucker for places where I can read about books at times when I am not supposed to be reading (ie. in work!)
Current reading- "Surfacing" by Margaret Atwood

Ah !
Miranda is the name of one of the characters in my current book ~ Geek Love, Katherine Dunn
Miranda is the name of Oly's daughter, and also the name of Prospero's daughter in The Tempest. Prospero is something of a magician, and lives on an isolated island with Miranda and Caliban. Miranda has never seen nor been around "normal" humans.
