A review by pleoniesmith
The Book of Harlan by Bernice L. McFadden

3.0

Such solid storytelling for 3/4 of the book. The book was strongest when the story stuck to Harlan and his closest family and friends. It faltered when she made the world of the book bigger. It veered into telling, not showing and took some of the pleasure out of reading for me. It's my first McFadden. I will be reading more from her in the future.
