I think there was a point that was pro women, but it was lost in all the digressions #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead

Finished this yesterday morning before our family hike/picnic.

This was one of the most honest, straight-forward, heart warming coming of age stories I ever read.

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

julieclair I‘m adding this to my stack, and will skim past the Charleston descriptions. 😉 2d
TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair That's exactly how to read it 😁 Outside of that it was so good! 2d

I really enjoyed this slice of life family story. Being close to the MC's age, there was quite a bit I could identify with.

A good, sink-into, partially estranged family story. I really liked the characters, the pacing, the writing. I will definitely be reading more this author.

History wise--interesting and enlightening; story wise--kind of boring.

bookandbedandtea I loved this book when I was a kid! I think I was 10 or so when I got it from a book fair and I know I read it multiple times throughout middle school. Child-me was very impressed by Karana. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I was trying to decide if child me would have been impressed. I think yes that she befriended the dog, but that's about it 😂 1mo
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I think I was impressed that she could survive on her own. 10-13 year old me knew nothing about providing for herself. 😉 1mo

February seems to be the month of DNFs for me 😕

I just couldn't with the writing and flow of this book.

Tove_Reads I listened to it on the train and it was okay. Not sure I would have liked to read it 🤷🏼 2mo
TheBookgeekFrau @Tove_Reads Since he's writing in Chandler Bingese I could see how an audio book would be easier. Like Shakespeare, Chandler wasn't meant to be read 2mo
