Uzma’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson

1 note

Overall impression of book: The history of blue people and pack horse librarians was interesting but I was turned off by the book’s depiction of racism and equating prejudice against ‘Blues’ to racism against blacks. The comparison was unnecessary and wrong. The ending was very annoying and very neatly packaged. I also thought the writing was weak.

Uzma’s Quotes

“Like most people in the world, then as well as now, we grew up between shouting and silence. Some of us made up our own minds, others had their minds made up for them.”
― Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me
