Yikes. I loved it as I started out. (I’m listening bc I initially enjoyed the narration) BUTTTTTT now …well it seems I’ve been listening for 40 nights and 40 days 😱 I think I’m going to stop bc I need a break. There’s wayyyyy too many details. I feel like it’s passing about as fast as a day in Appalachia w no tv and only a hot humid wind blowing. Will update more when I go back but Im almost at a dnf

I’m loving this book so much. Cute be the best book I’ve read in a long time.

So far really good guy us a great writer. Maybe I should listen instead

Having a hard time. Plodding along

Tough read/listen off and on

Ok took the plunge. I'm listening And reading and enjoying it so far.

This was a good light read. Starla reminded me a lot if myself as a 9 yr old and Crandall developed her very well. The issues of the times were portrayed accurately albeit on a superficial level which fit the overall tone of this book. I gave it 4 stars as it was well written and just what I was looking for.

Nice light read. But having just read Men Who Reaped it is interesting this is a book set in the same rural Mississippi but told from the point of a white narrator who is living with a black woman. Very interesting.

there are some books tgat I know I will read again and this is one of those treasures. next time I will read slowly and actually swallow the words rather than merely tasting them because this book is so rich. i have loved it, every single page. Yum .

Just finished Addie's story and am not as impressed as I was when initially starting out. The book is getting a bit sappy w all its talk of God and the Church. Hopefully this is just bc Adora was a preachers daughter. I do want to see this book through to the end.

Thru Letitia's story. Ch 13. Wow this is a fantastic story that is a very fast read. The characters are well-developed and I've completely blown off housework as I'm deeply engrossed and eager to see what comes next!
