A review by steviebells
Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

4.0

i can really see why this book is loved by a lot of people. i think the things you can learn about the civil war and america at that time is really important. i also thought it was very wholesome with some of the family dynamics, like with jethro and jenny. if you didn’t like this book the first time around, i’d say read it in a few years again and you can really understand the significance and meaning of the story. it goes way beyond just a story plot or writing or characters. it’s a learning experience. but of course i know a lot of people don’t like older/classic-ish books, which is fine and they might not like this book :)
