I just finished reading the best book on my Nook that I have read in quite some time and it is:
The Swan House by Elizabeth Musser
It was a great read and the last 50 pages I could hardly see the words for the tears in my eyes
If anyone has read it let me know what your thought were about it 1|1|Betty please email just give me a hint what it is about|melpaul|Melpaul199@aol.com|15:43:32|07/02/2011|
Please? 2|1|Here is a review inside and I know you will enjoy reading it|bcmunns|bcmunns@bellsouth.net|15:52:42|07/02/2011|
Elizabeth Musser captures the spirit of Atlanta in the 1960s in an incredible manner, from the traditional language of the Varsity (one of our best-known fast food resturants) to the Georgia Tech vs. University of Georgia football game. The characters were believable, with believable faults and talents. Everybody in the book was startlingly real. The plot was well developed, and it kept me guessing until the last few pages. I was caught up into the story very quickly. Musser's writing style is exceptional. The story flows well and is an easy read. Musser talks about buildings and places in Atlanta and the surrounding areas that still exist, making the story even more real. The main character is a 16-year-old girl, who is dealing with the loss of a parent, racism against her friends, and a kind lady named Miss Alice who has something special in her heart. I think this book is absolutely wonderful and should be read by anyone who has even heard about Atlanta. I wish Amazon.com gave me the option for more stars! "The Swan House" deserves many more than 5!
