Title: WHAT A BOOK!!!! THIS IS DEFINITELY A CLASSIC !!!
Review: Go back in time - the Adirondacks 1906 -- live with Mattie's hard-up family, cheer her on through her many struggles, enjoy the "Word of the Day", fall in love with her family, her sisters, her uncle "fifty", and mostly with "Weaver", meet busy-body aunts, a very smart teacher. I just simply loved this book -- Jennifer Donnelly is amazingly gifted, writes from her heart, yet with total understanding of farming life, the Adirondacks, the coming-of-age of young women in that time and place and the story which inspired her "An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser.Moreover, she writes with deep feelings and yet is totally literary as well.
