4.5

Gorgeous, gorgeous book. 

Well written, with clearly so much care put behind the words of the narrative. I am not from the south myself, but I learned so much!

The book is almost poetic in a sense, a wide range of readers would appreciate this story. 

Could have been shorter in some parts, it was a LONG book, but other than that, I emphatically enjoyed.
