Title: a classic, heartfelt, Southern girl coming-of-age story
Review: For the first 50 pages of this book, I kept thinking to myself that this was the typical Southern novel (which, having been raised in the South, I don't like) - abusive relationships, racism, backwoods, etc., etc. However, as I got further into the book, the true essence of the book - life, love, death, family, friends, acceptance, perseverance, spirituality - began to emerge, and the story became truly captivating. This story is set in South Carolina in 1964 and is told by a mature-beyond-her-years 13- and 14-year-old Lily Owens. Throughout the book, Sue Monk Kidd paints a vivid, realistic picture of the small town South and its people during that era, as well as of the struggles and triumps of an intelligent, vivacious 14-year-old girl. Sue Monk Kidd has given her readers an ageless, timeless, uplifting, heart-expanding coming-of-age story.
