This is a wonderful book. The character development is full and the story moves at a nice pace. I would recommend this book for anyone. I love historical novels because you always learn and appreciate the people and the culture from that time period. The author researched this era extensively and it shows. Several times in the novel I had a hard time reading it because it was so real and true to the time period. This is one of those books that you wish you could pull the characters from your mind and meet them personally. This is not a book that you merely read and put down, it stays with you. Papa George, Mama May, Belle and the host of other inhabitants of Tall Oaks pull you into their world and keep you hooked till the end.
