Great read for historical fiction. Anyone wanting to learn more about American history in the south might consider reading this book.
I read while on a trip to VA and Monticello- it added a lot to our visit!

I enjoy her writing and the descriptions of Australia. This one dragged a bit for me, I liked “The Dry” better. It is a good story line though and gets into family issues (we all have in one form or another- these). These were pretty intense though.

Not finishing this one, kindle freebie and not worth reading

Not sure I will finish, I table it awhile ago

Did not read

I’m anxious for it to be over. Tired of over descriptive scenes.

Choosing not to finish

Going slowly, with the Holidays and this being a “deeper” read, I am not covering many pages. Renewed from library once already.

I am listening to this one- I don’t usually do that. I am only reading (listening) because it is for my book club. So far, I find it confusing and not real interesting. Author’s overly descriptive writing style appears to be covering up the lack of a good story.

I like some chapters, introduction, 6, 9-15 but much of the book seems like “filler” and depressing, not what I need at 66 yo. I will try to skip through the rest.

Interesting writing structure- a bit confusing for me

Loving this one
