A review by teresab78
Sweetwater by Lisa Henry
3.0
3.5 Stars - There were elements that I really liked, I can always rely on Lisa Henry to push my boundaries of what I think I can accept. Elijah with Crane did that. I wanted Elijah to hate Crane but I respected him for recognizing that Crane offered a little of what he wanted. I really liked Grady for being able to give Elijah what he needed.
The whole book was slightly depressing in a way though. I felt so bad for Elijah. I also got a little tired of the use of the C word. It just grated on me, though I did appreciate that Ms Henry took the time to address her usage of the word a bit. Perhaps it was more common in that era among the crasser men? I don't know.
