This was a bit simpler than The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and more pat. It was also a bit harder to distinguish Honey from her mother than I would have liked. The themes, that books will save you and of sisterhood are quite repeatedly stated—there is no need for intensive interpretation. Still, they are themes that strongly appeal to me, and you can feel the author’s love of where she comes from in every page. This book has a strong sense of place and doubles as a fast-paced adventure, so I would recommend it!
