The Snow Fell Three Graves Deep: Voices from the Donner Party by Allan Wolf
5.0
I'm just going to sit and appreciate my life for a second...
A historical fiction piece on the Donner party written in verse? I would never but I am SO grateful I did because just wow? The emotional impact? The horror of one of the most well-known disasters of our American history(and we have quite a lot of disasters)
Listen, I won't sit here and tell you I ENJOYED this book. No, I cringed from the horror of it all in so many places. But the fascination that something like this happened in our history and seeing the different perspectives had hooked me into finishing the book. I thought it was well written and the long verse made the emotions more impactful. NOT for the faint of heart.
