I got this book as a gift from my little sister, who doesn’t really read books but raves about this one. I went into it not knowing at all what it was about, but by halfway through I was obsessed. The imagery is amazing, I can feel and smell the swamp, I can visualize the old North Carolina court house and a marsh girl. I enjoyed this book a lot, it’s the kind of book that’s easy to get lost in and it’s like a movie in your head, and that’s all I’m ever looking for from a fiction book. For an easy and enjoyable read, I’d highly recommend. As far as the story, the story was enjoyable, and has just enough twists to say it’s a bit unpredictable.
