![]() ![]() Lately, I've read too many books that are wonderful until the last twenty pages.but the ending of this book was awesome. I could reread the last thirty pages a hundred times. Perfect, as in, not happily ever after, but perfect for the book. I knew *nothing* about Ohio before reading the book, so it was super interesting to delve into that world.Īlso, this book has the perfect ending. It is described with such balance, in various, surprising, and honest ways that disrupted my notions of what the world was like at that time. The characters, all of them, are just fantastic.Īnother thing about the book that really moved me was how the author captured the complex relationships & tension between the native American tribes and the white settlers. There's adventure, romance, friendship, the relationship with the natural world. It reminded me of "Cold Mountain" but also (in a much edgier way) the "Little House" series and "Caddie Woodlawn." It's ultimately about the bond between sisters but weaves in so much more into the story. ![]() It's a classic American settler story, with tough yet tender female heroines. ![]()
