This book was very different, spanning the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s in America, right on through to the year 2026.

If you like a who-done-it that rings more about the people, place, and time than anything else, you might like this book.

The writing here was excellent, spacious, and full of dialogue. It slowed down my pace considerably, and not in a bad way

I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery, and listening as the main character blossomed into finding renewed purpose in her life.

This is historical fiction that squarely puts you into that time and place, fascinated by who he meets up with and how he copes.

This book is mostly about the injustice of being different, the misnomer of being handicapped, and what real community is.

This book brought out a lively discussion in my book group last night; some loved it and some hated it. Me, I was somewhere in between.

This book is touted as a family saga that is “sprawling and often brutal,” which describes it pretty well.

This novel blends the history of the blue people from the Kentucky hills with the history of the pack horse librarians, for a strong, touching story of racism, kindness, and the power of the written word.

I liked this historical fiction about a woman who started her own fashion line and lived life on her own terms.
