What a wonderfully told story! The words flowed off the pages with such ease and I was drawn into the story so quickly. Having said that, I don't mean to say that the story was a happy one, just a well told one. Henry, Laura, Jamie, Ronsel, Hap, Florence and Pappy, are all characters whose lives are intertwined in rural Mississippi at a farm called Mudbound. It is the Deep South in the 1940s and racism abounds, setting up a tragic chain of events.
Favorite passage: God never gives us a task without giving us the means to see it through.
