Felt like a truly meh book. The true story it’s based on is extraordinary and an often forgotten part of American history. I thought the descriptions of the setting to be beautiful & really put me in the location. However, the dialogue wasn’t compelling, characters weren’t fleshed out, and the pacing was so slow.
