Title: April Gold not one of Hill's better efforts
Review: SYNOPSIS: When their father dies and they lose everything in a bank crash, Marilla and Thurlow, along with their aging mother, must somehow scrape a living in an economically depressed America. They move to a poor, working class community, and their efforts to live clean, godly lives slowly influence their neighbors for good.MY OPINION: I'm a fairly big fan of Grace Livingston Hill, and I don't think this is one of her better books. The split focus between Thurlow, Marilla, and their mother means no one character's story flourishes with the detail it needs. The romance aspect was particularly underdeveloped.I read Hill mostly for cultural detail--the window into the past. However, this volume did contain a good deal of discussion of spiritual matters, so if this is your favorite aspect of Hill's writing, you may enjoy this book more than I did.
