I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. I just COULD NOT put this down, held it in one hand while I cooked supper with the other. Pretty difficult since it was hardcover!
Set in the south in the 60's, it covers a lot of ground with civil rights, women's place in the southern social climate and human beings who know what 's right and wrong. It was funny, sad, and just so captivating. I was truly sad when this book ended.
