Very Very Good story of the roots of an author living with her great grandmother in Virginia This is the first book I have read by this author and I came across it at a yardsale. It is an excellent book about two children growing up without their dad and almost their mom. Awesome dipiction of life in the mountains of Virginia. The characters are well drawn and the story is one that touches your heart. FROM AMAZON: It is 1940 and a tragedy sends Lou and her little brother, Oz, along with their invalid mother, from New York City to the rugged mountains of Southwest Virginia to live with their great-grandmother. The story is told with both heartbreaking elegance and large doses of touching humor as the lives of Lou and Oz are changed forever. The portraits of the land and its people are described with an extraordinary eye for detail, and the story flows through swells of prejudice, innocence, faith, and the question of whether one can ever really wish another well. The climactic courtroom battle is as unpredictable as it is relentless and will not only decide the fates of Lou, Oz, and their mother, but also those they have touched. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
