Resenhas
The hangman's beautiful daughter de Sharyn McCrumb
Very enjoyable. The combination of psychology, folklore and solid storytelling makes for a great read
Times are hard for everyone — it is 1936 and there are no safety nets for anyone. Ellie Robbin’s and her family are forced to move into town from their beloved countryside. Albert adjusts to town life faster and when the opportunity arises he becomes the sheriff. His sudden death forces Ellie to fill in for him in order to make ends meet. It takes a strong will to make the town and deputies accept her. Well written, the usual strong sense of place, strong feel for the people, and the history of the land. Loved it.… (mais)
A story told in both and present about the civil war in North Carolina. Very informative and worth reading.
Good read. Story of a family in the Appalachians called home to bury their father in a casket he has asked them to make.
