A review by bougainvillea
The Roving Tree by Elsie Augustave

3.0

This was fine, but nothing spectacular. I feel like the author tried to put everything in this book, like she wasn't sure if there would be another one. I also got the impression that the author was very conscious of having to explain Haiti and Zaire to her readers. It was distracting and annoying. I like this review I found on sx salon: http://smallaxe.net/wordpress3/reviews/2013/11/18/be-rootful-and-fly/.

I meant to say that this book is beautifully crafted. It was a pleasure to read for that reason. The cover design, the texture of the pages, even the font used... It was all beautiful and well put together. I was constantly reminded while reading this of why I could never only read on an electronic device.
