I'll say. Teenage pregnancy, miscarriage, alcoholism, lynch mobs and domestic abuse, all in the second chapter.
I have to admit though, I didn't like the Tiffany Aching books as much as the other Discworld books, but I Shall Wear Midnight was actually one of the best Discworld books I have ever read.

Just finished The Wee Free Men & enjoyed it immensely.
IMO it's quite hard to to distinguish it from a so called adult Pratchett discworld novel.
The protagonist is a 9 year old girl but some of the ideas behind the plot are not really kids stuff to me.
Tiffany Aching is probably the nearest Pratchett has ever come to a bona fide hero/heroine.
Will move on to Hat full of sky next

Good to see you again, FO Ron. How I envy you (in a way). You've got three more Tiffany books to read for the first time. And I also think that Tiffany may be the most fully developed single character Pratchett has developed.
I do think, however, that like all other Pratchett novels, these--especially the last 2, require at least 2 or 3 readings. Have fun.
