Book Review of The Kitchen House

The Kitchen House

Read this book for a book club discussion. Enjoyed the author's writing style and her ability to place me, as the reader, in the midst of the daily routine at the Tall Oaks Plantation.

The two-character narration fit well with the story until the older of the two characters left the plantation and wasn't a key figure in the plot. From then on the plot disconnected for me.

I don't regret reading "The Kitchen House", however, I think overall the story had more potential than it was given.
