  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Jesse Stuart was from rural Kentucky and was probably surrounded by people much like the characters in this book. It’s easy to ridicule rural Kentuckians and difficult to understand why they act as they do , but Jesse Stuart seemed to understand them.
