biggestlittlebooktalker 's review for:
News of the World
by Paulette Jiles
This was a very cool story about the old America, 1870.
It was a really creative way to show different cultures and what was going on around that time period. I also love the relationship that forms between the captain and Johanna.
Johanna is a German immigrants daughter whose family was killed by Indians, she was taken in by them and raised as there own before being sold and ending up in the care of the captain.
He is tasked with bring her across Texas to get to her distant relatives.
Different mannerisms, ways of life, and culture come into play through various points of the book.
Life was harder then and I enjoyed finding at least one person who was able to see how much this little girl had been through.
If you listened on audible the interview with the author after was amazing, i learned so many things and appreciate the research that was put into the book.
