One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


May's story is fascinating, and anything but cookie-cutter. I didn't know how the story would end until it ended--I liked that. Written as journal entries, the perspective is limited but detailed. You don't get much of anyone else's thoughts and feelings, but May is very observant, and it doesn't feel claustrophobic in her head.
