The Newer World by Sebastian Barry

I usually dislike novels written in overly poetic language but Sebastian Barry is an exception to that. For me, he uses language to enhance the story rather than submerge it. And, as in his other recent novels set in civil war and post war America, h ...more

I loved The Help and this new novel is almost as good. My only reservation is that it a bit too long and could have done with some editing. Kathryn Stockett captures the atmosphere of Mississippi in the 1930s perfectly. Her two main characters, Birdi ...more

I was wary about reading this book as I invariably find that books that have been as hyped as this one I tend to find disappointing. I am also not an enormous fan of epistolary novels. And, after about the first fifty pages, I thought my reservations ...more
