review 1: One of those books that you start reading and keep reading--thinking it will get better. The setting is 1947 in Savannah, Georgia. The nation has just come out of WWII and the civil rights issues are just around the corner. May Powell, a young teenager, and her parents have relocated to Savannah from their home in Massachusetts. May's father is a history professor and starts at new job at a local college. May experiences the usual "new" student syndrome in high school. The story never does come to a climax until the end when May's father witnesses the shooting of a Negro student and testifies in court against the shooter. Even that event is rather dull and boring.
review 2: I was not very impressed with this book. The story seemed to be a bit overdone, w... moreith the continuing repeat of history throughout the generations. Every generation of female encounter the same problem as young woman. It became a bit repetitive to me. The writing at times was very confusing to me. It seemed as though many thoughts from the characters throughout where left unfinished or with no closure at all. From about 80% on, I barely skimmed pages just to get to the end. less
