What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections...
*I had high hopes for this novel.
*When I first started, I was thinking it was going to be a fast read, but found the plot moved a bit slow for my taste.
*I certainly got a taste for the time frame, the local setting, and the way people were treated back in the 1930's.
*Being a book lover myself, I enjoyed reading about Cussy bringing reading materials to as many people as she could.
*The further I got into the story, I found myself skimming parts that just didn't engage me.
Who Should Read It... *This novel has received RAVE reviews and many 5-Star recommendations. If you are a historical fiction reader, this is the story for you. It may not have been the novel for me, but I think I'm in the minority. Happy Reading!
Rating...
3 out of 5 stars
