This book is following me! I started hearing about it from some friends. Then my husband asked about it because some of his co-workers were talking about it.
It's not the sort of book I would gravitate toward in the store, but I couldn't resist the book jacket description. I borrowed it from a friend and it is just waiting until I get my holiday to do list under control.

I am a lover of books; I can't get enough of them. Come check out my recommendations for readers of all ages! I hope you find some new reading treasures for you and your family here. Three star books are good, four star books are great, five star books are outstanding. In general, if I didn't like it, I don't even blog about it. Recommendations are based on my personal opinions, and cautions are listed for the sake of sensitive and/or younger readers.
It took me months to finally pick up this book, and when I finally did, I cursed myself for having taken so long! It's just that good. But I won't say anything more and instead wait for you to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy reading Southern literature (as I do), you'll enjoy this book. The setting for this fictional tale is an accurate reflection of a period of time that most of us remember. I read it in the summer of '09 in only a few days. It had been a long time since a book captured my attention like that. I'd be interested to find out how you like it.
