What a great book! It was intense. Toward the end, I did a marathon reading to find out what happened.
There were so many things I liked about it! I liked the friendship between the women, the role of books in people's lives, the role of the WPA and Eleanor Roosevelt during the Depression, the combination of use of horses, mules, cars, etc.
There were only two things I disliked. 1. They killed Bluey. At least it was a quick death. And 2. Old Van Cleve never really got what was coming to him. I wanted some revenge.
JoJo did not let me down. another great book. She gave us a look at a piece of history that was new to me. I wasn’t sure why Bennett stood up for his wife the all too few times he did. His childhood must have been very dysfunctional. I didn’t like the dog being shot and worried about the mule after that.
Her marriage was annulled but was he divorced? His wife left him but was he legally free to remarry.
After reading the ending I went back and reread the prologue. That put a whole different light on what was said at the trial.
