Out of Eden
"This moving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over lonely career advancement, yet thankfully avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation."--Publisher's Weekly.

Didn’t finish it. Couldn’t keep me interested long enough to continue.

This is a fiction story that is based on the life of two real women. In the story two young independent women from France decide to settle in western Kansas in about the 1850s. It was a very good story. It is realistic as to what Kansas was like at that time. For example she talked about hearing the wind could drive a person crazy, depression was a big thing, and it was just plain hard times. I really enjoyed this book.

This book has been in our library since 2006. It has been taken out exactly 3 times. Once in 2006, once in 2010 and once in 2015. I understand why.
It is choppy, it doesn't flow, it's horribly written. It's like a bad romance novel with no romance. Skip it.
