Helpful Score: 2
I really enjoyed this book. It starts as a coming-of-age story of a spitfire orphan girl of good Southern family after the Civil War and follows her through her life, which takes her into the mountains of North Carolina as a teacher and musician's wife. Full of wonderful quirky characters in a society in shambles, with an good plot that unfolds through a diary and letters. It's about relationships, not history, but the effects of the Civil War on the South are part of the atmosphere. A very readable novel with a protagonist-narrator, Molly Petree, who is a very memorable woman.
