Oh, I definately thinks she acts much, much younger than her age (Anita? You WERE throwing it in Ronnie's face in the upcoming book. What are we, 6?) You hit it right on the head.
I figured that it was a case of LKH's own experiences at that age coming through. And if the books were set in that period, hey, no problem. But unless I am wrong, and they're not supposed to be seen as happening now, it just bugs the hell outta me.
I mean, I was raised by my grandparents AND in North Dakota, to boot. And that doesn't explain it for me. Really, the fashion was not that far behind. And it took maybe a couple months to be assimilated. And she does watch TV, yes? Or is that too proletariat for her? Because surely she realizes fashion has changed a bit from when she was 27.
Maybe her emotional maturity and her pop culyure maturity, when added, equal her actual age? I dunno. lol
