Sounds like it covers a lot of ground. I’ll keep this one in mind.

Interesting. My work is also set on a farm, and one of my few regrets about it is that I wish I had written in more older characters, for the very reason that you say.

Wow talk about an interesting and unique story line. I can honesty say that I’ve never really heard about a book quite like this one. And I’m definitely interested in getting my hands on a copy: it seems like this book covers a lot of history and intense character development. Great review!

I thought this was just a little too long, especially at the beginning when it was just crappy job after crappy job, but once she is in the Doctor’s employ I really, really enjoyed it.

Wonderful review! It reminds me a little bit of a cross between Maise Dobbs and The Kitchen House, though the issues are different. I would love to read this one, and think that it sounds like something that would really intrigue me. I am off to look it up and see how long I will have to wait!!

This sounds so good – I love that it tackles a controversial subject in such a great way. I’m adding it to my wish list.

I snagged a copy of this one and I am so interested in reading it– for the topic, because it takes place in Pennsylvania, and because everyone who reads it has praise for it.
