A review by rainweaver13
The Rosewood Casket by Sharyn McCrumb

5.0

I love the language and rhythm of McCrumb's books, all of them, including this one. The Appalachian manner, for lack of a better word, and the deep connection to the land resonates so strongly with me that reading her books is sort of like visiting home. My ancestors came from the mountains and I live in the very southernmost area of the Appalachians, so I suppose that explains why I fall into McCrumb's mountain books like falling into a mound of cozy blankets.

The only other author who affects me this way is Manly Wade Wellman, especially in his Silver John novels.
