This book has been in my to be read basket for a long time - at least a year. I had heard about this book for much longer - years and years...when I worked at the book store I sold it many times.So, when our book club picked One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus as this month's choice I was thrilled. I would finally read the book that has been so badly neglected.
I am so glad I finally picked this up and read it. It has been reviewed many, many times so I won't go over the storyline here. I will say that is was well written, the characters were fantastic, and the descriptions were wonderful. It was easy for me to read (after a slow beginning), however it was not fluffy. I often say I am not a historical fiction girl, however I think I really am...
Happy Reading.
I tried, very hard I might add, to read this book. I made it to page 34 or 37 & just couldn't go any further. Perhaps that's the slow start you mentioned, I don't know. It just wasn't meant to be for me ... but I'm glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteMy bookclub is reading this one next month!
ReplyDeleteI chose this for my bookclub's first selection this month (we've yet to meet) and I LOVED it!! Jamie loved it too, and the others are still reading.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I love how strong the women were, and I like books written as journal entries. I'm more able to put them down, and not read straight through 'til morning. ;)
I loved the history in this book and the descriptions of how the Cherokee lived.
I loved this book. It wasn't really my kind of book but once I got started it was hard to put down.
