Well written! Great character development. I really felt something for these characters. Nothing cliche. Anita Shreve writes like all authors should. She shows instead of tells. I would definitely read more from this author.

    A story about a rough time in America's history. Following Honora, a young woman who gets married to a man she falls in love with, she follows him to a new life and how the stock market crash effects their world and everyone around them. (It's so much more, I wish I could put into words.)

    a book that reflects the difficulties and struggles of the depression from a young woman's point of view -- a good story.

    Although the book was probably more true-to-life, it wasn't a real feel-good kind of book. It was interesting, however. Antia Shreve's writing is wonderful and keeps you engaged throughout. I really liked her "Light on Snow" book that I read last much better.

    Slightly confusing beginning but everything comes together at the end.
