Savage Lands
by Clare Clark

Filles à la cassette (12/29/2009)

Being from southeast Louisiana, I anticipated reading a novel wrapped in the rich history of the casket girls. I did not really enjoy the book. It was hard to get into and some of the descriptive paragraphs were a bit much.

Gifts of War: A Novel
by Mackenzie Ford

Touched (4/24/2009)

This book touched me on many levels. As a recent widow I was touched by the characters and how they draw you into their lives and their story. As an historian I found it vivid and accurate. I would gladly recommend it.
