Title: Enjoyable...but break out the Kleenex if you're a softy!
Product review: The author does a wonderful job of creating authentic-sounding characters, and the narrative is gripping. However, I wound up feeling somewhat amused/exasperated by all the terrible disasters that strike--pioneer life was incredibly rugged and often exacted a tragic toll, but Turner just piles it on. That's a very small quibble, though...overall, I really enjoyed this book, and recommend it to people who enjoy history and first-person narratives (and aren't overly picky about good grammar).
