Oh, goodness. Historical fiction lovers. I have never read about the pre-union USA living conditionds in such detail, and being from Boston it was stunning. I usually read WWII historical fiction. It's long and you can skim lots, but it's so true.

So much I didn't know about post-war racism in England. Truly eye-opening. Refugees from the camps were widely hated.

Though this author has received many awards, and the book is well written, I found it quite depressing. That said, I love historical fiction and learned more about India in the last four or five decades than I never knew.

I loved this book SO much. I sent it to my sister, who is a musician, and she is donating it to her public library in Vermont. I usually repost books I find on swap, but this was a no brainer. Do read it if you can find it. Chris

Poetry is inviting and challenging; it invites meditation and reflection.
