Book Review of Plain Truth

Plain Truth
materialgirl avatar reviewed on


I have been a quilter for 30 years. Most of what was written about quiltmaking in this novel was so totally erroneous that it made me question the accuracy of the depiction of Amish life that was central to the story. Ms. Picoult is a very popular writer, but better research on the details would improve the realism of her books. This book also has a twist at the end that didn't ring true to me. So even though multitudes seem to like her work I won't be reading any more of it.
