review 1: I found this to be truly a most excellent book with well-drawn and believable characters. My one complaint is that I found it too long, especially the first half about the hero's youth. It was so so dark and unpleasant at times that it seemed to drag painfully and hopelessly to the point that I just wanted to stop and go read something pleasant. After Chantry's return to Cane Creek as a man, less trapped and helpless and more able to take control of his life and circumstances, the action came fast and furious, and it coalesced into a magnificent novel. I am a tough old bird and any book that brings me to tears has to be one gripping tale. Add this book to my "favorites" list.
review 2: Wow! This is probably going to end up on my top-ten list of all time. ... more Maybe it's because I'm from the South and grew up just a few years before the timeframe of this novel, but I was impressed that an adult can capture the tumult of being a teenager in a rural area.I got off to a rocky start with this novel. Mrs. Brown has a way of "laying whoppers" on you when you least expect them...often a simple sentence buried somewhere in conversation. Maybe I missed one of these in the beginning and became confused on the the timeline or something. I'm so glad that I got beyond this hard patch because the next 95% was a shear roller coaster of emotion. It's ironic that if I had put this novel down when I was tempted it would have been a great example of the lesson taught: actions have consequenses. less
