A friend recommended this book to me. She said it was one of her all-time favorites. As I greatly respect her opinion and choice of books I eagerly began. I found, however, that this story of a young English woman who marries a Kentucky gentleman to be predictable. Though I loved the emergence of a main thread in the story, women librarians who delivered books to the backwoods on horse or mule, the rest was predictable. I greatly prefer the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.
