Negative Positive
Title: Historically inaccurate
Review: I was disappointed in the book because of its many historical inacuracies and its distortion of current Cherokee life and culture.Having grown up and lived my whole life (68 years) in Eastern Oklahoma, known many Cherokees, and spent many years studying their history and culture, I found the book full of disappointing stereotypes. I expected better from Kingsolver, especially since the Cherokees are among the most thoroughly researched and written about of the Native Americans.The story should be regarded as simply a fairy tale with no relationship to real life.I give it two stars only because Kingsolver tells a good story even when it is just a fairy tale.
