msethna 's review for:
American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land
by Monica Hesse
I listened to this one during my summer drives back and forth from school. This is not one I would normally pick up but because I loved A Girl in the Blue Coat so much and I set a goal to read more nonfiction, I challenged myself with this one.
True crime fans will find this story fascinating. A young couple works together to burn down 67 houses for "fun." Hesse mixes some background information on arsonists over time with the narrative of how Charlie Smith and Tonya Bundick fell in love, committed these crimes, and then got caught.
Can't wait to book talk this one to students in the fall.
