I fell in love with Donna Everhart's writing style a couple of years ago when I read her book THE FORGIVING KIND. She captures the spirit of the American South in such a way that you can feel the torturous heat and humidity, taste the coolness of a glass of sweet tea, and hear the cicadas on a drowsy early evening.
I enjoy historical fiction so when I discovered her newest book was set in southern Georgia and described the life of turpentiners I was really intrigued. Living in central Georgia I had heard a bit about this industryâ¦enough to maybe fill a thimble.
Set during the Depression, Everhart brought the characters to life as I read. I felt like I was part of their life. There were the power-hungry, thoroughly mean men like Crow and Otis. But then there were the courageous âsaintsâ like Del, Rae Lynn, and Cornelia.
A story of courage, survival, and friendship sure to linger in my mind for some time. I am looking forward to discussing this book in my book club.
If you enjoyed Kristin Hannah's THE FOUR WINDS, you would probably enjoy this book also.
