From a historical perspective it reviews the lives of a group of women from just after the civil war until they all die. What struck me was how much families are different from 1932 until the present, and how little they changed in the time leading up to that. Seldom do we currently see people growing up, marrying, moving in with their in-laws, and staying in the same community, but that is how it was in small town Ohio. The characters are so alive, I could barely put the book down. It is hard to describe how wonderful this book was to read except to say, at the end I wanted more.

Enjoyed the premise, but thought the culprit maybe a little unlikely. I did enjoy reading about Boulder, as I went to school at CU many years ago.

Loved it. Rarely do I have the opportunity to laugh out loud when I am reading, but Carrie has a great talent to entertain, and touch lightly on very serious subjects. I look forward to reading her next book.
